Demond Does is where I do dope things with dope people such as:
The 6 Questions where the same 6 questions can tell a unique story,
and hyperfixations such as:
U.S. Heroes where I talk about American heroes, of course.
The Bad Mutha Movie Club: The only podcast dedicated to the filmography of Samuel L Jackson, that I know of.
