In celebration of KPFA’s 76th birthday, we take a powerful journey into the Hard Knock Radio archives to revisit a historic moment: a rare and unforgettable interview with the late Dick Gregory and Paul Mooney.
These two legendary comedians and fearless truth-tellers—renowned for their razor-sharp wit and unflinching political commentary—had never shared a platform for an interview until this groundbreaking broadcast. Their conversation is as hilarious as it is profound, touching on race, resistance, and the role of comedy in confronting power.
Join us as we honor KPFA’s legacy of radical media by revisiting this iconic conversation—an essential listen that is as timely now as it was then.
Hard Knock Radio is a drive-time Hip-Hop talk show on KPFA (94.1fm @ 4-5 pm Monday-Friday), a community radio station without corporate underwriting, hosted by Davey D and Anita Johnson.
