Kevin Young became the first and only man in history to shatter the 47-second barrier by winning the 1992 Olympic men’s 400m hurdles gold medal in the astounding world record time of 46.78 seconds. Using his unusual technique of switching between 12 and 13 stride intervals between hurdles, Young bettered the world record of 47.02 set by Edwin Moses in 1983 despite slamming the final hurdle and raising his arms in triumph prior to reaching the finish.

His record still stands and he remains the only athlete to ever break the 47-second barrier. As a collegian, Young was nicked named “Spiderman” by his teammates at UCLA, where he won the 1987 and 1988 NCAA 400m hurdle crowns and his UCLA Bruins captured back to back national championships. A UCLA graduate, he is a proud native of Watts, California and remains active in the development and motivation of today’s youth.   Among his numerous honors, Mr. Young highly cherishes being the winner of ESPN's first Eppsy Award given for Track and Field accomplishment.

In this pod, Young discusses his youth, conquering environmental obstacles, international competition,  the '68 Olympics,  and Olympic & Major League Baseball steroid usage including comments on Marion Jones, Roger Clemons and Barry Bonds.

In this second installment of the Virgin America pod series we covered the Virgin America crew as they hit the streets of San Francisco for a valentine’s day  promotion. They gave back some luv to the city that welcomed them by opening up its golden gates and silver runways. This “in the community” approach looks like another example of how Virgin America plans to “reinvent” air travel.

Pod runs 14:53.

Angels Can’t Help But Laugh

Actress/filmmaker Terri J. Vaughn sits down with 25 of Hollywood’s African-American actresses to discuss how they deal with being in today’s entertainment industry.  While media floods unrealistic ideas to the general public about these women, this documentary allows viewers a candid, unscripted exposure into the minds and hearts of these actresses. Ms. Vaughn sincerely removes these women from the characters we know, and reveals the essence of the real women.    These actresses open up to talk about their fears, disappointments, successes, families and careers.  They drop pretensions about this industry to unfold basic truths about life.  This gives a glimpse of reality and the real people underneath the illusion. www.angelscanthelpbutlaugh.com
