On this episode of The Root’s podcast, we talk losing a magical guest, the tragic death of Korryn Gaines, Malia Obama’s dancing skills and Charles Barkley’s race show.

For this episode of the Unique Views podcast, we had a special guest lined up. A guest who is directly responsible for changing the world as we know it. A guest who helped influence and alter the musical landscape. A guest who was directly responsible for bringing Beyoncé into existence.

I don’t believe in throwing anyone under the bus. The Pod Squad is a three-person leaderless team, so we have nothing if we don’t support one another. But someone whose name rhymes with Besha Ballahan totally dropped the ball, and we lost our guest. It’s not her fault, really, except it’s absolutely her fault. Don’t worry, UV-ers—she’s working tirelessly to get our special guest back!

What does any of this mean to our listeners? Well, nothing except that you got an extra week of Stephen A. Crockett Jr. and the Podcast Pips: The Root’s social-content producer, Danielle Young, and Senior Editor Yesha Callahan!

I don’t want to give it all away, but your host-with-the-most, aka Mr. Steal Your Rent Check, is under the weather. I had to go to a place worse than both bin Laden’s cave and Trump’s house. I had to go to the dentist, which left Patti LaDanielle to run the show. She even sings the theme song!
