Travis: It was a pleasure to talk with Crown creators Gordon C. James and Derrick Barnes about their upcoming book, I Am Every Good Thing. Our conversation hit on a bunch of topics: how Derrick and Gordon met, how Crown changed their careers, and how their collaboration continues into I Am Every Good Thing and beyond.

We hope you enjoy the episode:
