American Black Journal is kicking off Black History Month by talking with veteran Detroit broadcaster and filmmaker Gerald McBride whose career in Black radio has spanned more than four decades. Host Stephen Henderson talks with McBride about his new memoir titled, “God and the DJ,” which chronicles McBride’s professional path as a radio personality and the role faith and resilience played in that journey.

McBride discusses how radio has changed over the years, and he talks about the syndicated show he currently hosts titled, “Old School House Party.” He also explains what led him to write, produce and direct a film about young Black hockey players called “Black Ice: The Rhythm.”
