Outstanding. We old progressive folks are so very very very proud of our youth and younger generation.
Debra Katherine Williams comments on Tavis' conversation with education advocate Cortlan Wickliff
I grew up listening to their music. Great interview.
cheri comments on Tavis' conversation with rock band Heart
I have watched your show with great pleasure for many years. You often talk about your mom and that she never misses a show. She produced a wonderful son and I for one, would be thrilled for you to interview her on your show. I know I would learn a lot from a lady like her.

Steve Soskin comments on our Mother’s Day Tribute

Fantastic interview Tavis. Some stunning, insightful points brought out. If only more of us would think, explore, reflect.
