Jon Leon Guerrero and Pete A Turner - Checking In - The Break It Down Show started as the Mid Week Mash on OzCat Radio back in the early 20-tweens. Jon invited Pete on the show as a guest, and he never left. Back then, Jon, Pete, Niko-Jon's son and the guy that welcomes you to each episode of the BIDS would chat for 3 hours. The magic they created in those sessions is what pushed them to think bigger and create the show you all know and love today. This episode happened because of a guest conflict...and we're all grateful that it did. Here's Jon and Pete at their best.

​Hilliard Guess – WGAW’s Open Letter to Hollywood #BLM - As the Black Lives Matter protest rage on, companies like Hulu, Netflix, Comcast and HBO proclaimed support for the social movement. Hilliard Guess, Co-Chair of the WGAW's Committee of Black Writers, along with Michelle Amor and Bianca Sams wrote an open letter to these companies laying out how they can fulfill their commitment to black folks in Hollywood.  

Here is the letter https://www.wga.org/uploadedfiles/the-guild/inclusion-and-equity/Dear_Hollywood_June_12_2020.pdf

Pete A Turner grabbed Hilliard and the two have a challenging conversation about race, being black and what Hollywood can do to do right by black folks in entertainment. The trio of writers references UCLA's Hollywood Diversity Report for 2020 and the WGAW's own Inclusion report for 2020 which finds server under-representation of blacks in Hollywood.
