Interludes: A Pure Lighthouse Production

In recognition of Black History Month, Pure Lighthouse Media honors Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing filmmaker from Metropolis, Illinois, whose silent-era films combined storytelling with bold social commentary and laid the groundwork for Black independent cinema.

That legacy continues on Talk on Tuesdays, Episode 520, as Val “The Voice” Johnson welcomes Chicago filmmaker Alvin Daniels for From Preacher’s Kids to the Big Screen, airing February 3 at 9 PM EST / 8 PM CST.

Church. Culture. Comedy. 🎤

I grew up in the church, and those early lessons still shape how I see public behavior—especially when you live life in the spotlight.

Tongues will wag.
Including ours. 👀

For our last live Talk on Tuesdays show of 2025, Coach Tony and I are reviewing Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special, The Unstoppable, and it took me places I wasn’t expecting. What starts as comedy quietly turns into history, reflection, and a whole lot of thinking.

Pull up with us, share your thoughts, and let’s close the year together as we gear up for 2026. Join us tonight....

Interludes: A Pure Lighthouse Production

NEW EPISDOE ALERT!! Last night, Coach Tony and I wrapped up our final live Pull-Up Podcast Show of 2025, and it truly meant a lot to end the year in conversation with our amazing community.

During the episode, we broke down NFL Week 16, talked through the teams that have clinched their divisions, highlighted those heading into the playoffs, and listened to Coach Tony’s Super Bowl predictions—which, if you’ve been following along, he’s been surprisingly good at calling.

I also want to thank you for being so patient and supportive as I continue learning the game of football. From understanding what a first down really means to fully watching the Bears–Packers game this past Saturday, this journey has been eye-opening and exciting. That game took me on a ride. Green Bay played strong, and I honestly thought they had it—but everything changed in the fourth quarter and overtime. When the Bears pulled off the win, I immediately picked up the phone and called two people. That’s how real the moment felt.

This episode wasn’t just about football. It was about community, growth, and closing out the year together with intention and joy.
