Latest Update-1 podcast remembers Chadwick Boseman's D.C. connection

The latest edition of Update-1, the National Press Club's podcast, features a remembrance of the late actor Chadwick Boseman, whose death in August at the age of 43 left a void not only in the entertainment industry but also for many young people in the country.

Gemma Puglisi, a member of the National Press Club's Broadcast/Podcast Committee, interviews Dr. Wayne Frederick, the president of Howard University in Washington, D.C., Boseman's alma mater.

 

Frederick, an oncologist, discusses Boseman's impact at Howard, the actor’s colon cancer diagnosis and the rise of the disease in young people. He also talks about the great commencement speech Boseman gave in 2018 at Howard and what the actor leaves behind.

 

Mike Hempen produces Update-1. Besides listening on the Club website, Update-1 can be found on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Stitcher, TuneIn and Spotify by searching for "NPC Update-1."
