Description

Imagine, growing up without running water outside of Philadelphia and then, as an adult, finding yourself managing the careers of such Hollywood luminaries as Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlburg and Pierce Brosnan. And being on speaking terms with US Presidents, everyone from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama.
Dolores Robinson, Executive producer, talent manager, reality TV star and mother of season two guest, Holly Robinson Peete, took her two kids and moved to Los Angeles three decades ago, and made a name for herself as one of the most prolific managers in the biz.
But what if one day, just after your 71st birthday, you got a diagnosis that other people might consider to be the beginning of the end? Would you start planning for your inevitable demise? Or would you kick those gloomy notions to the curb and decide to live your best life ever?

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
