Anthony Bradley's Appearance On NPR (National Public Radio)
I was invited to join a conversation on NPR regarding the black family last Thursday on the show "News and Notes"
From NPR:
This month, we launch a series that takes an introspective look at the black family unit. Farai Chideya talks about the future of the black family, pegged to comedian Bill Cosby's recent admonitions about parenting.Joining in are Jerry Large, staff columnist for The Seattle Times; Theresa Mohammed, an English professor at Onondaga College in Syracuse and editor of the book, Essays in Response to Bill Cosby's Comments About African American Failure; and Anthony Bradley, a research fellow at the Acton Institute and a professor at the Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis.
Farai Chideya is an amazing interviewer I was honored to be on the show. You can give a listen here.
You can find my full comments about Cosby's new book here at the Acton Institute.

Say what you want about NPR's obvious liberal bias and often-hilarious cluelessness (an NPR interviewer once asked Chris Rock if he went through a Black Power phase in his youth, and his answer was an incredulous "No!!!"), but they do good interviews of interesting people.
