The Dopest Thing I'm Doing Right Now
This is the first occasion that I've had to run the production of a massive, investigative audio docuseries. It's a bold 10-episode run about the long-incarcerated Larry Hoover - the man, the myth, and infamous founder of Gangster Disciples...
Presented by Breakbeat Media, in collaboration with my audio production company -- BIA Media -- it's a highly anticipated, investigative narrative podcast taking a closer look at his case and just who exactly IS Larry Hoover???
Dave Mays, founder of The Source Magazine & Hip-Hop Awards, put together an all-star team including Executive Producers Kierna Mayo Smith and Brett Jeffries, Yohance Lacour (reporting) and myself, Bia Medious (producing).
