IRL Take Aways: Killer Mike

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

We’re back with another IRL #TakeAways. The in-between audio-only podcast where Angie and special guests reflect on episode responses, takeaways, and highlights. 

On this week’s #TakeAways Angie and her producer Brittany go in-depth about her podcast interview with Killer Mike. They admire his intelligence, self-awareness, emotional comfort, and vulnerability. Angie recounts Killer Mike's incredible strength and resilience in the face of adversity, including dealing with his mother's suicide attempt, his arrest during the Grammys, and his personal and professional journey. They both tout the importance of maintaining relationships with people of diverse backgrounds and viewing the world from different perspectives. Killer Mike's belief in blending and maintaining familial bonds despite difficulties and his ability to laugh through pain, both exhibited during the interview have been significantly highlighted.
