TGS Live: A Black Panther's Son Discovers the Free Market

Support The Glenn Show at In this excerpt from last Friday's livestream, Glenn formally introduces a familiar face to the audience: Robert Patton-Spruill . A regular presence on and off camera, Rob shares the winding personal and professional journey that shaped him, from growing up in a politically connected extended family in Boston to working in film and finding his own voice as a writer and director. He reflects on the influence of his father, James Spruill , his experiences in the film industry, and encounters with figures like Public Enemy's Chuck D . The conversation ranges widely, linking Rob’s lived experience to broader ideas about social capital, community, and practical paths to progress.
