Everything is Personal

Andrew DeAngelo talks Advocacy, The Music Industry Machine, and Breakdancing

Episode Summary

Len and Jon welcome cannabis advocate, consultant, and occasional actor Andrew DeAngelo, younger brother of Steve DeAngelo, to this week's edition of Everything Is Personal. Andrew talks about his life-changing introduction to cannabis, his advocacy on behalf of cannabis as decriminalization and legality becomes a reality in more and more states, his work on the board of directors of the Last Prisoner Project, and his work as the co-founder of Harborside, which helped set the standard for cannabis retail operations. Len and Jon also go deep on breakdancing and their time in breakdancing crews in the 80s, best and worst hip hop movies, the diversity of early hip hop scenes around the nation in the face of the music industry homogenization machine, another edition of Have You Heard, and a new pop culture-sharing segment called Recommendations.
