In a rebroadcast from December 7, 2014, Daniel talks with Guy Johnson, son of the great American poet Maya Angelou, who died earlier this year at the age of 86. Johnson helped compile over 200 of Angelou's inspirational quotes, bits of advice, and observations, and they are available in the posthumous collection, "Rainbow in the Cloud." Johnson talks about connecting with his mother through her words after her death, and how going through her works was a way for him to not only say "goodbye" to her, but "hello."
Johnson also reads the poem that Maya Angelou read at the 50th anniversary of the United Nations: "The Brave and Startling Truth." You can view Maya Angelou reading the poem at the UN event here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjEfq7wLm7M
Also in today's show, Daniel feels betrayed by Apple's Siri app for making him pronounce Spanish words with a gringo accent.
*the music heard on this show was performed by Maya Angelou: "Stone Cold Dead in the Market" and "Run Joe"*
