I was delighted and honored to interview the multi-talented Aphrodite Kocieda about her new web series, Tales from the Kraka Tower (HUGE hat-tip to Conditionally Accepted for this–I had one in the piece but it went through a lot of edits and I lost the sentence it was in and forgot to add a new link and please forgive me please please please?).

Here is the Slate piece that resulted, which also has a link to the first episode. What’s your favorite scene? Mine is definitely Dr. Kimball, the Larry David of casual racists, though the first time I watched I didn’t catch that she actually says “n***as”! The look on Lakisha’s face is priceless when she does that too.
