What We Discuss with LeVar Burton:

How LeVar went from pursuing a vocation in the priesthood to acting in a miniseries that changed the national dialogue about slavery forever.
What LeVar's Roots experience taught him about the power of television for education and engagement and how it paved the way for his involvement with Reading Rainbow.
The questions LeVar asks parents who want their kids to read more.
What it was like to act in Star Trek with the most expressive parts of his face covered and a head full of technobabble vocabulary.
How LeVar avoided melting down in spite of international attention from an early age and what he's done to stay relevant over 40 years in show business.
And much more...
