Summary
This week on the Who Is Podcast, we welcome Washington, D.C. legend Anwan ”Big G” Glover, a cultural icon whose impact spans music, television, and community leadership. Known worldwide for his unforgettable portrayal of Slim Charles on HBO’s The Wire, Big G was already a hometown hero as the founding frontman of the legendary BackYard Band, one of the most influential groups in the history of D.C.’s go-go movement. In this candid conversation, he reflects on growing up in the nation’s capital, building a legacy in music and entertainment, overcoming adversity, and using his platform to uplift the next generation. From the streets of Columbia Heights to television screens around the world, we explore the remarkable journey of the man behind the legend and discover who Big G really is.
