A new documentary film explores the African American experience in the South and Gullah culture through the lens of a native son. He also happens to be the son of Pastor Dr. Norvel Goff, whose congregation experienced a racist mass shooting in 2015. Director Jon Sesrie-Goff joins to discuss his debut feature, "After Sherman."

Not a fast runner? Doesn't matter, according to Slow AF Run Club founder Martinus Evans. Inspired by his own journey with running, Evans now has a book titled Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run. He joins us to discuss and take calls from aspiring runners who might be slow AF.
