And now for the coup de grace...join Dburt and Captain Kirk for a bit more edge on Afronerd Radio at 7pm. This time the issues to be discussed for their Week in Review segment are: more on Facebook Wall Street review and even in the world of high stakes business and finance, the "hoodie" is tolerated begrudgingly-the difference between Mark Zuckerberg and Trayvon Martin's hoodie wearing etiquette; a African-American UCLA doctor being likened to a gorilla denotes old school racism in the new world order; Dburt mentions Giovanni Aldini as the real life inspiration for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.The entertainment industry mourns the passing of two music giants in their restive genres, Donna Summer and Chuck Brown and megastar, Will Smith lays the smackdown on a fresh reporter during the Russian premiere of Men in Black III.

It's that time AGAIN, folk! It's time for Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review show! Join your "Radio Avengers," Dburt and Captain Kirk tonight starting at 7pm (EST) as they provide some conservative (and oftentimes independent) analysis on your weekly top stories. The issues at hand this (mid) week are: in a blatant display of magazine publishing one-upmanship against the Time mag, Newsweek has President Obama on their cover as the nation's first "gay" president; medical records from George Zimmerman's family physician affirm his initial injuries that were claimed subsequent to the Trayvon Martin shooting; as the popular social networking site, Facebook approaches its initial public offering, its valuation might make it the most highly valued American company to date and lastly, according to a recent NY Post piece, the friendship between First Lady, Michelle Obama and the "First Lady" of media, Oprah Winfrey may have cooled over issues relating to protocol and access to the White House.

At the top of the 6pm hour, join Captain Kirk, Daryll B. and Dburt this Sunday for the Comic Shoppe broadcast-the topics on the table are: undoubtedly, more Avengers talk as the film is expected to eclipse a billion dollars in ticket sales...the Newsarama site cites ten classic Avengers' stories that could make for a great sequel; it appears that in the main Marvel comics continuity storyline, courtesy of the Battle Scars limited series, fans get their Sam Jackson inspired Nick Fury after all; revisiting our popular (and rousing) Versus segment, which animated series is the best-Young Justice or JLU? and lastly, Fox's Fringe gets a fifth and final season (including the return of Leonard Nimoy!).

Next up, there's Afronerd Radio airing at 7pm. Captain Kirk and Dburt are summoned on the bridge for yet another mission to unpack the following topics: continuing from Wednesday's Mid Week in Review show, who (and why) is Krispy Kreme? Is it a parody and why aren't his Black contemporaries perceived in the same vein?; an update on Akim Camara, the child violinist/prodigy who gained notoriety in '03 at the age of two for his ability to remember and play music pieces before he could speak beyond baby gibberish; President Obama formally comes out in support of same sex marriage. A so-called enterprising webpreneur, is selling Trayvon Martin gun targets and surprisingly (or may be not so much) requests for his product have caused him to sellout and lastly, why does Hunger Games evoke racist reactions in its fans when the story essentially describes a dystopic future free of racial politics? A Huffington Post blogger waxes on the growing furor over a campaign to cast a man of color for the part of "Finnick" in the second installment of the popular film series.

Join your "Radio Avengers," Dburt and Captain Kirk this evening as they utilize their super "powers" of observation regarding the following topics: picking up from Sunday's show, comedian Steve Harvey has a problem with Atheism and a blogger's recent entry suggests that Black Studies college programs should be dismantled; unemployed football great, Terrell Owens makes an appearance on The Dr. Phil Show and lastly, a rap parody (maybe) performance by Krispy Kreme, courtesy of Youtube goes viral.

Join the Comic Shoppe team this Sunday at 6pm to listen to the crew bring analysis to the following issues: our thoughts pertaining to the highly anticipated U.S. release of the Avengers film this past weekend; and now that that the Avengers is on track to become a billion dollar grossing enterprise, will we ever see an analogous Justice League movie in the future?; and dovetailing off a recent Entertainment Weekly piece, what are some overlooked comic book properties that are worthy of some silver screen treatment? And lastly, a brief discussion on infamous comic book drugs and elixirs...Gingold, anyone?

And then we land the haymaker with Afronerd featuring Captain Kirk, airing live at 7pm. The topics to be discussed for this broadcast are: NY Post sports columnist, Phil Mushnick writes a racially charged and/or provocative piece regarding Jay-z' partial ownership of the Brooklyn Nets; Dburt waxes on comedian, Steve Harvey's views on atheism (and other issues); a new alcohol spray promises to get the user inebriated instantly and lastly, the latest article from The Root untangles a blogger's screed questioning the worthiness of Black Studies programs in institutions of higher education.

Let's try to keep this entry like a BMW Mini Cooper...compact! Join Captain Kirk and Dburt tomorrow at 7pm sharp to hear their irreverent take on the following current event enveloped topics: a continuation of the issues that were left on the colloquium "dinner" table this past Sunday (the lack of minority representation critique levied against the writers of HBO's new comedy series, Girls; a Detroit judge gets caught "sexting" a colleague; a Essence managing editor gets axed (sort of) for his right wing views; does the merger involving NY radio giants WBLS and WRKS (Kiss-FM) spell the demise of urban radio?). And then we move forward into Wednesday specific topics: Dburt discovers automotive cable TV programming (as well as African-American custom car designer, Steve Stanford); Captain Kirk highlights math savant, Jason Padgett who acquired his "superpower" from a brutal beating almost a decade ago and if time sees fit, we'll discuss basketball "idiot" savant, Amar'e Stoudemire left handed shenanigans.
