“You Didn’t See Nothin’ is an intriguing podcast about the 1997 racist attack of 13-year-old Lenard Clark. Yohance Lacour is a complex narrator – at the time of the attack he loved literature and was a rookie journalist, but was also dealing weed, then heroin. Eventually he got a much longer sentence for his dealing than Lenard’s attacker, even though Lenard was left in a coma.
Yohance is unapologetic about his anger and desire for retribution, even when much of the black community back then was focused on reconciliation. But he wonders if, like those community leaders, he was equally a ‘sell-out’, only for dealing to his community, not for being bribed by white mobsters. And he wrestles the fine line between being a journalist and being a snitch. These internal tousles are as fascinating as the bigger picture look at racism and everybody having a price.
Side note 1: Yohance is v. good at visual descriptions of scenes, making this really immersive. Side note 2: Was Lenard’s story part of the source material for Showtime’s Your Honour, starring Bryan Cranston? There are so many similarities!

Part investigation and part memoir, it follows Yohance Lacour as he revisits a story—in 1997, a boy is beaten into a...”Read full review »
