Ramsey is a staff writer for the\xa0Los Angeles Times.\xa0His work has appeared in\xa0GQ,\xa0WSJ Magazine,\xa0The Atlantic, and many other publications.\u201cI actually got into writing about criminal justice ... because I was curious about Black life. But that meant the only way I was able to do that was I had to kind of do this really often depressing slice of Black life. And there\u2019s so much more. And there\u2019s so much beauty in the lived experiences of Black people. \u2026 There are so many stories that just never get told about Black life. One, I have a connection to being a Black person, but then being a Black person who has the benefit of a really good education, and I\u2019ve been given some shots here and there\u2026 it feels like a duty. If I\u2019m not going to tell these stories, then who?\u201d\n\nThanks to\xa0Mailchimp\xa0for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow notes:\n@donovanxramsey\ndonovanxramsey.com\n02:00\xa0Exit Scam\xa0(Aaron Lammer and Lane Brown \u2022 Treats Media \u2022 2021)\n02:00\xa0"Gossip Girls, Money Men, and 2 More Podcasts Worth Trying"\xa0(Nicholas Quah \u2022 Vulture \u2022 May 2021)\n02:00\xa0Nicholas Quah on Longform Podcast\n03:00\xa070 Over 70\xa0(Max Linsky \u2022 Pineapple Street Studios \u2022 2021)\n25:00\xa0Ramsey's\xa0Atlantic\xa0archive\n26:00\xa0Ramsey's\xa0Ebony\xa0archive\n26:00\xa0"Motorcycle Club Honors, Assists Soldiers Offering Their Lives Overseas"\xa0(Black Enterprise \u2022 Nov 2012)\n26:00\xa0"Janelle Mon\xe1e: The \u2018Q.U.E.E.N.\u2019 Speaks [INTERVIEW]"\xa0(Ebony \u2022 Jul 2013)\n29:00\xa0She\u2019s Every Woman: The Power of Black Women in Pop Music\xa0(Danyel Smith \u2022 Dey Street Books \u2022 2017)\n31:00\xa0"Police Reform Is Impossible in America"\xa0(Gawker \u2022 Feb 2015)\n32:00\xa0Ramsey's\xa0Demos\xa0archive\n35:00\xa0Jason Parham on Longform Podcast\n40:00\xa0Ramsey's\xa0The Marshall Project\xa0archive\n40:00\xa0Ramsey's\xa0Complex\xa0archive\n45:00\xa0"A Triple Murder, a Broken Family, and the Long Tail of the Crack Era"\xa0(Vice \u2022 Aug 2016)\n47:00\xa0Black Futures\xa0(Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham \u2022 One World \u2022 2020)\n48:00\xa0"Measuring Crack Cocaine and Its Impact"\xa0(Roland G.
