187 – Welcome to Shondaland

The former Queen of ABC is now the Queen of Netflix! Shonda Rhimes, the first Black woman to create and executive produce a top network series, is so much more than Grey’s Anatomy [though, that had a little something to do with her success]. Take a trip to shondaland as we chat all about Rhimes, her production company, and of course, those addictive, soapy, sexy, dramatic shows of hers. Later, enjoy a quiz called “Error: Location Not Found”!
