Logan Browning – “From School Daze to Dear White People: The Different World of Black College Narratives”

In honor of Dear White People, whose fourth and final season is now available on Netflix, star Logan Browning joins the show (35:05) to talk about how the series has represented a diverse range of perspectives and backgrounds among its student body, and also to share a little bit about her own college journey. THR culture writer Evan Nicole Brown also joins to add more dimension to the discussion about college experiences for Black students and to accompany host Rebecca Sun on a campus tour through Hollywood's history of Black-centered college movies and TV shows.
”Hollywood Remixed” is a topical, diversity-focused podcast from The Hollywood Reporter, hosted by Rebecca Sun. Each episode will be dedicated to a single theme – a type of character or story that has been traditionally underrepresented or misrepresented in pop culture – and feature an expert co-host as well as a special guest whose latest work exemplifies a new breakthrough in representation. We’ll revisit groundbreaking classics and introduce listeners to hidden gems, in order to better understand how film and television in the past has shaped progress in the present.
