Miller was also the host of the 2019 documentary podcast “Larger Than Life,” which chronicled the life of street racer Big Willie Robinson. He previously reported on the business of entertainment for five years at The Times, breaking stories on sexual abuse allegations in Hollywood, uncovering the noir-soaked life of a Black detective with claimed connections to Raymond Chandler, and revealing the Walt Disney Co.’s complex business ties to the city of Anaheim.
