Amplify Color Talks To "God"; Trevor Noah Talks AI; iHeart Talks True Crime All The Time

Amplify Color’s Newest Episode: Charlamagne tha God

This week, Warner Music Group’s in-house podcast network, Interval Presents, debuted the latest episode of its newest series, “Amplify Color” hosted by Ryan Cameron, a 2x Emmy winner, the host of “Voice of Atlanta,” a member of the Georgia and Black Radio Hall of Fame, and long-time Atlanta DJ. You can listen now on Apple Podcasts and all major podcast platforms, with the final episode dropping next Wednesday. 

 In this episode, Ryan Cameron discusses radio icon Charlamagne tha God. Born Lenard McKelvey in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Charlamagne tha God has become one of the most important people in the history of radio and TV. His journey wasn’t easy. In this episode we’ll learn how being fired from The Wendy Williams Show, and then being fired from his own show in Philadelphia, propelled him to the top of the media world as one third of the World’s Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Tune in to hear the unprecedented journey of Charlamagne and how it landed him in the Radio Hall of Fame. 

 In a clip from the episode which you can listen to HERE, host Ryan Cameron discusses how when tabloids, gossip sites, and bloggers claimed that Jay-Z had a role in Charlamagne getting fired early in his career, although not part of his master plan for success, motivated him to succeed in a career on the radio by leveraging his role in this viral moment in history.  *******************************************************************

 What Now? with Trevor Noah latest episode: OpenAI’s Sam Altman

 On Thursday, December 7 Spotify’s original podcast What Now? with Trevor Noah released a new episode featuring a video conversation with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The episode is available on Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts. 

 On November 17, OpenAI’s nonprofit board of directors fired Sam Altman, without warning or even much in the way of explanation.

Shorty after that firing, OpenAI’s whole staff threatened to quit if the board didn’t resign and reinstall Altman within a few hours, three people involved in the standoff told TIME. 

Then, Altman seemed headed to Microsoft — with potentially hundreds of colleagues along with him. Was it possible that the company might collapse overnight?

In the end, Altman won back his job and the board was overhauled. 

“We really do feel just stronger and more unified and more focused than ever,” Altman says in the last of three interviews with TIME, after his second official day back as CEO.

Should be an interesting interview with Altman. Is it Altman or simply his AI avatar? Hmmm.  ******************************************************************

iHeart Podcasts goes true crime all the time

Comedy and true crime appear to be the two most popular genres in podcasting. That’s odd because comedy is about making people laugh, while true crime is about either scaring the crap out of people, or making them feel fortunate that the crime victim is not them. 

Like most large podcast networks, iHeart has invested in numerous true-crime podcasts. Here are three of their best.

 Radical: True crime and mystery blend in this podcast, which follows the story of two police officers who were shot in one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods on March 16, 2000. One officer died, and the other claimed the shooter was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, the leader of a local mosque. 

Once known as H. Rap Brown, a charismatic leader of the Black Panther Party, Al-Amin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. But was Al-Amin truly guilty? Or was it payback for decades of work against the establishment? Find out on Tuesdays. 

 The Greatest True Crime Stories Ever Told: Talk about hyperbole. However, with new episodes on Tuesdays, this anthology series dives into the “most layered and engrossing true-crime stories” about female killers, cops, scientists, lawyers, scammers, activists and more. Host and true crime writer Mary Kay McBrayer tells the stories in which women aren’t narrowly defined as victims, but instead are the protagonists. 

 King Slime: Bonus Episode: Fans of “King Slime,” which follows the ongoing trial of rapper Jeffery Lamar Williams (Young Thug), can check out the new bonus episode for even more on the craziest trial in Atlanta and hip hop’s history. Out now, the episode dives into the story of YSL defendant Sergio Kitchens, the rapper Gunna, after he took an Alford plea and walked out of Fulton County Jail with probation last December. 

Christina Lee investigates Gunna’s life after court, the impact on his reputation and music, and the evolving legacy of Atlanta as hip-hop’s capital.
