Bigger Than The Stage

Poet, activist, writer, all-around BEAST authoruhtee is in the studio with us tuh-day. This was an episode that flewww by while we talked about everything, from North St. Louis rebuilding after the tornado, to zines, to our collective undiagnosed ADHD. It was such a great episode, authoruhtee will be coming back for a part two in April.

We have Larry Greene in the building once again, talking about But Baby I Love You pt. 12 and so much other stuff. This was truly silly, we covered all the bases: Black clones, what be going on in jail, Shante's shenanigans, and a whistling tooth.

It's a frosty afternoon in St. Louis, but we brought the sunshine! We talk about the snow, the hit 90s sitcom, the cornerstone of culture that is A Different World, and what it would look like flirting on Mars.

Our first repeat guest Memphis-based Tony Tone is back! He stayed with us for half the time. We talked about Shaq, Michael B. Jordan (guess who brought him up?), and we heard his impressions. Then when he left we talked about the books we got to further ourselves in our careers.

We take the time to love on Shante and her fantastic set at City Winery opening up for Amber Wallin earlier this month. If you're getting FOMO, that's okay. Both of us will have more shows in the upcoming year. Anyway, this is a fun, lighthearted episode.

We have St. Louis local comedian Nuunie LaRue in the booth with us today. It was nice to have some girl talk, and it was really funny, too. We have a ball! Catch Nuunie on The Chris Thomas Show "Las Vegas!" every Wednesday and Thursday live on YouTube.

Happy New Year! We're live in the studio, talking about our 2025 at a glance, what we want for 2026, and Black people at the movies. Less than half an hour in, Shante talks about Michael B. Jordan.

It's Christmas and it's our 40th week on air anddddd we have our first rapper in the booth! air horn air horn air hornnnn for Zado! We talk about his latest project, ZADO not zaydoe (which is available on all streaming platforms), the intersectionality between music and comedy, and how the journey is the most beautiful part.

Taji and Shante get silly in the booth. We rank our Mount Rushmore for cereals, talk about villain laughs, and plan out Shante's new goal for 2026: twerk at multiple St. Louis landmarks.

We have St. Louis' own comedian Jovan Bibbs in the studio with us today. We talk about bottled water brands, Black movies that would get our cards revoked if we haven't seen them, and warrants. Jovan's piece of advice: be fearless and be better than you were yesterday. Stay prayed up and be true to yourself.
