B Dorm Podcast

Every old head knows Street Fighter is the OG of hip hop video games. For a minute it was the hottest thing out. Ryu, Sagat, Honda, Blanka and Zangief were the baddest dudes out there. And like most things from that era, they tried to make a movie out of it. And they failed. Miserably. But while the movie was not good, the soundtrack had a couple of bangers on it including Nas’ One on One. And while that song might be one of the only things worth remembering from the movie, the game itself is inspiring a whole new generation. And they are inspiring some interesting conversations. Your hosts Don Elivert and Jehriko Turner share their fascinating discussion exploring whether a provocative Instagram cosplay post is exploitative or promotional and why we should always listen to an artist’s intentions before we judge their work. It’s critical to understanding where people are coming from. And speaking of understanding where people are coming from, Don shares his thoughts on possibly the two most misunderstood cultural markers out there: Durags and Golf. Try and find that somewhere else. Spoiler alert. You won’t. So hit play and kick back and enjoy the conversation. From banking while black to delicious discussions of Haitian pikliz, B Dorm is a fun and thought provoking conversation that will make you think, make you laugh, and make you feel. And that’s what B Dorm is all about. We hope you enjoy the ride. And while you’re at it, go ahead and give us five stars and subscribe at bpod.us.

When Big Shug dropped What’s Really Real? in 2005 it was a game changer. An instant classic. And that’s the vibe we’re bringing in this episode. A little old school, a little new – like the new Don Pizz drink this week and the B Dorm Pod #DrinkSexy movement: it’s a new school Old-fashioned that’s going to make you feel like you haven’t been doing things right the whole time. The man cooks clementine peels! We don’t even know what those are, but damn is it tasty. 

And you can use that tasty drink to wash down a conversation that is simply delicious. Don Elivert and Jehriko Turner dive into why it’s easier to believe that Denzel can fight an entire cartel than Scarlett Johansson; why air fryers might be the most important cooking device you can own; and why a BIG ASS bear robbing people’s houses gets more sympathy from people than a black jogger that was lynched by racist rednecks. How does that happen? Why does that happen? They are questions that will make you angry. Questions that will make you feel. And all of them will make you think. And that’s what B Dorm is all about. So press play, and enjoy the ride. And while you’re at it, go ahead and give us five stars and subscribe.

Welcome to The B Dorm Podcast! Have you ever seen an eclectic group of friends and wonder how the hell such diverse people ended up meeting and getting along? Ever wonder what conversations take place behind closed doors, when political correctness isn't a factor and friends can just be real with each other? That's what The B Dorm Podcast is about. 

Hosted by two black men from Queens, educated at one of America’s most elite and most white colleges, they dive into the news, politics, race and pop culture with a perspective that flies from the highly intellectual to the downright silly. The “B Dorm” at Amherst College was the place they met and held court. Now, it's the vibe of their new podcast. 

They get serious, but have fun–and always keep it real. Drawing from our diverse network of men and women across business and the arts, from the powerful Righteous Media network of hosts and guests, and from former roommates and other friends from our not-so-diverse Little Ivy alma mater. Real-talk with two real friends, who are real smart and real fun. And conversations with real people from Senators to college buddies who have navigated the minefields of divisiveness in society to achieve happiness and success in adult life. We’ll chat about business, culture, entertainment, and whatever comes to mind. Sometimes we’ll get serious, but we’ll never take ourselves too seriously. Let's have an unapologetic, dorm room style conversation - sometimes controversial, always entertaining: this is The B Dorm Podcast. 

In this episode you get an introduction to your new favorite podcasts hosts: Don Elivert and Jehriko Turner as they dig into what it means to celebrate blackness in America. From Kwanzaa to MLK Day to Black History month, there’s a lot to explore and a lot to break down. It’s deep stuff but Don and JT keep it fun and the show is guaranteed to keep you thinking for days. And don’t miss them sharing some excellent pointers on getting the most out of your experiences when you’re traveling abroad with their Traveler’s Cheat Code. It’s great advice for anybody who wants to have more authentic experiences when you’re traveling (who doesn’t?). You’re definitely gonna wanna give this a listen. And to wrap it up, they’ve got some hilarious answers to a great question. What’s your last meal… if you had to build it with street food only? It’s a delicious exploration of some of the finer things in life. There’s a lot of flavor in this episode. From Soup Joumou to Frank’s Gyros to some fine honey roasted cashews, this episode has it all. Grab a snack. And while you’re at it, go ahead and give us five stars and subscribe.

Welcome to the B Dorm podcast. You ever see an eclectic group of friends and wonder how the hell such diverse people ended up meeting and getting along? Ever wonder what conversations take place behind closed doors, when political correctness isn't a factor and friends can just be real with each other? That's what the BDorm Podcast is about. Hosted by two black men from Queens educated in Western Massachusetts, we dive into a range of topics, from the intellectual to the sophomoric, drawing from our experience with a diverse group of men and women, former roommates and other friends from our not-so-diverse Little Ivy alma mater. Real-talk with real people who have navigated the minefields of divisiveness in society to achieve happiness and success in adult life. We’ll catch up with former roommates and other guests from their circles of influence to chat about business, culture, entertainment, and whatever comes to mind. Sometimes we’ll get serious, but we’ll never take ourselves too seriously. Let's have an unapologetic, dorm room style conversation - sometimes controversial, always entertaining: this is the BDorm Podcast. 

In this inaugural episode your hosts Don Elivert and Jehriko Turner dig in on some deep and heavy matter, exploring what it means to be a leader, how we choose our leaders, and what are the responsibilities of the leaders we choose? We’ve had plenty of characters in the news lately to help us explore the questions deeper. From Kanye West to Jon Gruden to Dave Chapelle to Colin Powell. Whatever your opinion of them, they’ve all performed at the highest levels of their professions and experienced success and failure at the highest levels. It’s going to make you think. It’s going to make you feel. It’s a deep but fun look that will resonate with you long after you’re done listening.

What happens when 2 Black, artistic roommates go to one of the whitest colleges in America? How does it shape your identity? How do you shape the identity of those around you? The B DORM PODCAST is a crisp and edgy headlong dive into what it’s like growing up on one side of our Nation’s socio-economic color divide – and what the transition into a new alien world is like. 

They’re heavy topics, but presented in a way that is lighter in nature, finding humor in the pain. The two hosts have all taken different paths since 2000/01 when they graduated – and so has the nation. The B DORM PODCAST will discuss the roads that they chose and the ones not taken, the dreams they chose to defer and the ones deferred for them. There are also some stories about some of their wilder experiences, placing them in context with contemporary concerns. The hosts talk about everything from midnight snacks to throwing stacks, and wade into the deep end at times to discuss social justice and politics as well. 

It’s a nostalgic look back. But it’s also a brave look ahead. Fun is back.
