Time appears to be chugging along at a fast pace as we get closer to The Avengers premiere-and I couldn't be more elated! But while you wait for what will undoubtedly be a legendary cinematic summer, stop by for Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review7pm broadcast to get your educational/entertainment oriented filler in the interim. Allow Dburt and Captain Kirk to extrapolate the following current event topics for your aural experience: Dburt laments on the reluctance of Disney (and other like minded movie studios) to release classic films (i.e. Song of the South) that might be viewed as racially insensitive to today's audience; scientists posit how humans would react if an extraterrestrial encounter were to become a reality; Black folks (en masse) finally make an appearance on AMC-TV's popular 60s period series, Mad Men; for the fitness enthusiast, our thoughts on the ElliptiGO bike. And lastly, time constraints notwithstanding, the Afronerd crew will "unpack" their thoughts on the latest MDK (murder, death, kill) tragedy that occurred at an Oakland, CA university. And concerning the Oakland mass murder...a word of advice-be careful poking fun at an immigrant's poor command of the English language. Call us live at 646-915-9620.
