I’m not black, I’m O.J.
This week, it’s all about the O.J. (not the juice, though now we kind of want some.) We’re flashing back to 1994, along with everyone else who can’t get enough of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story on FX. Whether you haven’t gotten around to tuning in or you’re totally on the bandwagon, we’ve got you covered. Our guest, Pahoua Yang Hoffman, is pretty much a Ph.D. in the O.J. case and packs four books’ worth of fascinating info, history and trivia into this one podcast. Jenn’s also largely in the know and Kate is charmingly in awe for most of the episode. Here it is, folks: our comprehensive guide to the O.J. American crime story.
