Welcome, folks!  Stop by Afronerd Radio (@afronerdradio.com, of course) this Wednesday at 7pm eastern standard time and listen to Dburt and Captain Kirk utilize their conservative (and sometimes independent) "tricorders" in analyzing the following current event laden concerns: GOP presidential hopeful, Newt Gingrich gets a big SC crowd affirmation when asked a racially tinged question during Monday's debates; singer and new mother, Beyonce catches some heat over lightened/Euro-altered photos being used to promote her upcoming CD; the sinking of an Italian cruise ship (along with double digit deaths) looks like a 21st century version of Titanic; in honor of the birth of his daughter, Blue Ivy, rap musician, Jay-z vows to refrain from using the vaunted B-word in future hip hop songs/performances (I guess his wife and mother didn't provide him with enough inspiration, huh) and lastly, a blackout protest by Wikipedia over SOPA and PIPA legislation has students upset that they might have problems completing homework assignments without access to the online encyclopedia.  Feel free to call us live at 646-915-9620 or contact us via IM/email @[email protected].  See you...AGAIN at 7pm!
