to those who've listened to the podcast
what does it contain that wasn't in the "my infamous life" audiobook?
what does it contain that wasn't in the "my infamous life" audiobook?
it mostly focuses on sickle cell, and how he dealt with it from childhood until his final moments. It covers a lot of stuff we know/heard, but there's a few things I personally didn't know regarding sickle cell
I don’t recall hearing Twins telling the story of his first time seeing Prodigy have a sickle cell attack with Fat Joe and Big Pun crying after witnessing the pain he was in.
I’ve only listened to the first part of the podcast so far.

thanks...the white voices doing the intro are too annoying.....I don't think I can stomach that in my ear each episode
will try to listen to it later...
When they mentioned that a sickle cell foundation is one of the sponsors of the cast.....I figured that they'd spend a lot of time focusing on that....

I definitely don't remember Prodigy mentioning that his father was in a doo wop group in the book.

It's difficult at times, i struggle with a lot of podcasts for this reason, in 2018 everybody who makes something wants to be famous, rather than just getting a credit (symptomatic of information era.)
Podcast are often unlistenable for these reasons
*Awful production value (bad recording, bad mics, bad mixing, terrible mic awareness.)
*Terrible personalities hosting (just boring people, dorks, no charisma, fake charisma, shoddy hostmanship etc)
*Caucasians telling the story on behalf of someone else because they're 'entitled/technology allows them to in this era (the homogenisation of culture and art)
I listened to this podcast earlier, I'm a huge T'chaka Johnson fan, I've devoured everything i can about Prodigy since i heard him first in 1995 as a 13 year old.
It's very well produced, they did research, good interviews, a little too much narration, but they had to in order to complete the story and sub text in regards to sickle cell.
Somebody with less inclination to be a 'podcast narrator' or wanted to be just a behind the scenes producer etc would have gotten someone from P's inner circle to narrate, his daughter, his estranged wife Kiki (whom he was still okay with), Flea, Joe the engineer or Twin etc. This would have strengthened it dramatically, would have also perhaps given it more credibility and reach.
Worth a listen off the little bits about P you may not have picked up on yet. They worked hard on it obviously.

technically high quality
Yeah. I hear you. You definitely don’t get that hip hop vibe like you do when you click on Drink champs for example :prodigylol:
Still, I think they are doing a good job with it.
