April and Mr. Clay talk about 10 very odd phobias. From the fear of chins to the fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth. The conversation slowly steers away from phobias and turns to dog and cat calendars, friends with no imagination, dancing at work, food allergies, jars of Goober and singing along to Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

Racism is resilient, duplicitous, and endlessly adaptable, so it is no surprise that America is again in a period of civil rights activism. A significant reason racism endures is because it is structural: it's embedded in culture and in institutions.

Do you refer to your dog or cat as “somebody”? As in: When you love somebody that much, you don’t mind if they slobber. In other words, is your pet a somebody or a something?

I studied English Literature as an undergraduate. I won’t bore you with the grammatical grace that comes with an immersive study of language—particularly the Queen’s English. The truth is I don’t pay much attention to grammar anyway—I am more interested in the manner in which words lead to ideas. In essence, conversation—intelligent, thoughtful conversation—requires a willingness to engage with language. Norman Maclean intimated in his wonderful memoir A River Runs Through It that some of the words
