Amplify Color episode covers the career of Sway Calloway
Warner Music Group's in-house podcast network, Interval Presents, debuted the latest episode of its newest series, "Amplify Color" hosted by Ryan Cameron, a 2x Emmy winner, the host of “Voice of Atlanta,” a member of the Georgia and Black Radio Hall of Fame, and long-time Atlanta DJ.
In this most recent episode, Ryan Cameron discusses the fascinating life of Bay Area’s own Sway Calloway. Sway Calloway began his career as a rapper but all that changed when he landed his first radio gig co-hosting a show on San Francisco’s KMEL. At the time, the Oakland music scene was bubbling up with acts like E-40 and Too Shoot gaining local acclaim. But the scene was constantly overshadowed by Los Angeles and New York City. Sway brought the Bay to the USA. And not just to the airwaves, but as a news correspondent on MTV – a move that opened doors and landed Sway some of the biggest interviews any disc or video jockey has ever seen.
Produced by Double Elvis, the 14-episode “Amplify Color” series tells the stes of how trailblazers like Big Boy, Tom Joyner, Robin Quivers and more have left an undeniable impact on the radio industry. The next upcoming episodes will discuss the life of iconic TV host Wendy Williams and host of The Breakfast Club Charlamagne tha God.
The tragedy of Layleen Polanco on Rikers
iHeartPodcasts has released a new podcast called Afterlives: The Layleen Polanco Story.
Known to light up a room, Layleen Xtravaganza Cubilette-Polanco was an Afro-Latina trans woman in New York City who was sentenced to the city’s notorious jail complex on Rikers Island and died there in 2019 at the young age of 27.
On June 7th, 2019, Layleen Polanco suffered an epileptic seizure while in
confinement and was rendered no medical aid by staff for nearly an hour,
which could have saved her life. Sadly, but not surprisingly, no one was held responsible for
Layleen’s preventable death.
Host Raquel Willis celebrates Layleen’s vibrant life through memories from her family of origin and the community she discovered in New York’s famed ballroom scene, while also unpacking the systems that failed Layleen leading up to her incarceration.
Learn more about Layleen’s story and the fight that continues in her name today and every Monday.
