The Wire (Seasons 1-3), w/guest Leonard Pierce

The fifth and final season of The Wire just wrapped up on HBO this past Sunday, and thus I decided to post a special two-part show that I recorded a couple of years ago about this landmark series. My guest was freelance writer and pop-culture critic Leonard Pierce, and we discussed the myriad of social and political themes running through the first three seasons. [Originally broadcast on WLUW’s Under Surveillance in 2006.]
