Greetings to all our supporters (and detractors..what the hey)!  Pull up a seat and listen to a new installment of our Mid Week in Review podcast airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST-courtesy of the Afronerd Radio machine.  Join Capt. Kirk and Dburt as they attempt to shed light on the following topics:  it appears that Dburt has additional thoughts about the recent racial controversies centering around the student body of the University of Missouri (the acronym SJW comes to mind); as expected, Black twitter appears to have a problem with not only director, Spike Lee's upcoming Chiraq film but his views on intraracial violence (sigh); Hollywood whitewashing continues with new The Gods of Egypt film (hint: no actual Egyptians were cast) and again, the cyberwebs react; and in a gross case of over-reaction, a 67 year old White woman gets arrested for pulling a gun on a Black man who was asking for a light and we will try to do some house cleaning by addressing issues we failed to tackle from previous broadcasts.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.

Can we kick it ?  Yes....I think we can!

Kirk and the "Uncanny" Daryll B.-your broadcast "Doom Patrol" as they unravel the following topics:  our thoughts go out to Paris as the city deals with the latest horrific wave of terrorism resulting in reportedly 150 plus deaths; still more thoughts about race and the University of Missouri; additional musings concerning legendary comic writer, Neil Gaiman's fight to maintain the integrity of his characters' ethnic backgrounds; Change.org has a new petition campaign aiming to bring a Constantine series to the CW network; in retro tech news, just what is the deal with audio tapes making a return to public cocnsciousness?; thoughts about TNT programs-The Librarians and the Sharon Stone TV vehicle, Agent X; Dburt scratches his head as young men that appear to be "Afronerds" are profiled and refused entrance into an Australian Apple store; is the Flash a not so thinly veiled homage to Fox's Fringe?  And lastly, actor Christian Bale actually responds to the viral theory that he is really Batman (in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film).  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
