Black Hipster

Episode 121: These two hipsters are finally back to recording together after Rona tried her very best to separate them! We are excited that Attack the Block has a planned sequel and equally (possibly more) thrilled that John Boyega is back in what we are hoping will be a role where he appears without a shirt for at least 85% of the time. Polygamy in the black community is and has been a thing for a while so let's take it off that insane list of "Things Black People Don't Do". The dynamics of an intimate or platonic relationship can be tricky but its important to understand when it no longer serves you.

Episode 119: Krispy Kreme, Trader Joe's and other large companies are joining state and federal efforts to push people to get vaccinated. A free donut for a year, reduced price beers and paid time off are some of the great incentives being offered. We've all played Never Have I Ever and Would You Rather but the New York Times's "The 36 Questions That Lead to Love" might be the next best thing?

Episode 118: These two hipsters are definitely feeling pandemic fatigue but plans of New York completely opening up by the end of the month has us a little concerned. We reminisce on the days of being young, broke and traveling. A story of an elderly man taking makeup classes for his wife who is losing her vision has us feeling all the feels.

Episode 117: First things first, these hipsters sound off on Rupaul's Drag Race...and we promise, it is not a read. But also, how have your friendships changed or evolved during the pandemic? Studies show whose affected differently by isolation as a result of that bitch Rona. Plus, understanding our American privilege during these times and how can change our priorities to be less, well, the f*cking worst?

Episode 116: With the insane amount of TV shows available on the endless amounts of streaming programs, it is surprising that the "quality" of shows seems to be so low. Is it too much to ask that Black programming be entertaining, well written AND not about racial trauma?! Who was the test audience for this show?

Episode 115: How does your socioeconomic status affect your psychology and social outlook? It should come to no surprise that the value of those who make more money do not align with those who make less. Our two fav hipsters also discuss coffee, clothes and take a moment to remember the late DMX.

Episode 114: Shalwah gives us a weekly Cuomo Update and no ya'll, it isn't good news. Queerbaiting isn't new but as discussions around the topic continue to grow more people are becoming aware and taking issue. Let's get into it.

Episode 113: Racial issues do be complex ya'll. There are differences between being prejudice, bias AND (pause for dramatic effect) racist. You think it's about time we all start educating ourselves on these differences?! Evanston, Illinois has recently introduced a plan for reparations. While the program isn't perfect we do think it's a good place to start!
