Description

Imagine being a successful working actor, booking movie after movie, show after show, and being the envy of your peers. 
Chris Browning, American film and television actor, was living the dream before succumbing to an addiction so powerful that he ended up losing his home and began a life of homelessness, winding up in an encampment under LA’s infamous 405 freeway.
But what would you do if while getting sober, there was a casting call for a small part in a big film, and they were looking for bad guys, bad guys that needed to die? Would you decide to pass and wait for the kind of roles you’d been playing before? Or would you take the part and become that guy that died in the movie you like?

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.
