Season 2, episode 21 is here. Dominic, Connor, and Mark have an amazing conversation with LeVar Burton - Commodore Geordi La Forge of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard. This man is a national treasure... Army brat and son of a Teacher. The church. Acting. Directing. Roots. Reading Rainbow. Star Trek. Fatherhood. Living a life of service. The importance of inclusion and representation. It's a tale of two engineers (and Reed). Our beloved Erica LaRose is away today, but she will be back soon. We get some fan questions in, play a round of Star Trek Trivia, and we subject LeVar to being "Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” Get ready to have a laugh.

AudioFile is revisiting favorite interviews all this week, and we had to highlight one from way back in the beginning of Behind the Mic: Jo Reed’s interview with LeVar Burton. We all know LeVar from “Roots,” as the beloved host of “Reading Rainbow,” and the host of his podcast “LeVar Burton Reads,” and more iconic roles. Here, LeVar and Jo discuss his friend and mentor, Fred Rogers, and how he jumped at the opportunity to narrate THE GOOD NEIGHBOR, a close look at the host of the PBS television series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” Listen as LeVar discusses getting to know Fred Rogers, their shared vision for creating engaging and meaningful programming for children, and how his acting career launched by his role on “Roots.” He also tells listeners about how he came to focus on reading aloud to children, and why he continues to believe in the power of the spoken word and storytelling. Read our reviews of LeVar Burton’s audiobooks on our website . Find more audiobook recommendations at audiofilemagazine.com Support for Behind the Mic comes from Oasis Audio, featuring the finest in specially curated novels including THE MAN WHO LAUGHS , Victor Hugo’s 1869 biting arraignment of the aristocracy for their vices, crimes, and selfishness.

This is a special look back at our 2018 conversation with Author, Actor and Literacy Advocate LeVar Burton. LeVar tells us who inspired his passion for reading and literacy, and why he believes it is so important to promote literacy.

LeVar Burton has been blessed with enough intelligence, curiosity, and talent to be a pop-culture triple threat. When most actors would be happy to have one iconic role, he's been Kunta Kinte in "Roots," Geordi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and the host of "Reading Rainbow." When we talked in 2012, we covered all that and a lot more ... like his favorite saint, and what it was like having Richard Burton as a father. (Kidding!) And, since we're dropping this episode just before Juneteenth, we're including LeVar's readings of the Preamble to the US Constitution, plus the 13th and 15th Amendments. (Note: Burton cites Bill Cosby's work in children's educational TV ... this interview was conducted two years before the allegations that would eventually lead to Cosby's prison sentence.) Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live; and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people. (Off-Ramp theme music by Fesliyan Studios.)

Guest host LeVar Burton presents two of his favorite stories. In Lucia Berlin’s “Friends,” the characters have different ideas about who benefits from their weekly lunches. The reader is Lydia Gaston. Next, Burton himself reads Jocelyn Nicole Johnson’s powerful “Control Negro,” in which an academic and father tries a real-world experiment to prove a theory about racism.
