Tune in for part 1 of COVID and Chemo’s interrogation of the pitfalls of racial integration. In this episode, we discuss the trials and tribulations of the late, great Jackie Robinson, the first Black man ever to play Major League Baseball in this country. Some folks thought it was a game; it was anything but. #weseeyoujackierobinson

In this sequel to the infamous Five Horsemen episode, COVID and Chemo discuss possible ways in which folks become horsemen of the dating apocalypse in the first place. Warning: All theories contained in this episode are the speculations and imaginations and musings of one COVID and one Chemo. Though the Horsemen we know of are causing havoc all around, there is no reason to ignore their origin stories. #bekindrewind

What had happened was, is that we heard some Ja Rule too many times and we f*cked up our numbers like Terrology and came for the wrong radio station last episode. Apologies to Joe Soto and Bioncee Fox of V103, the (Black) cookout favorite of Chicagoland. 104.3 JAMS: Is it a scam? Wtf y'all doing?? Why so much Ja??? But in all seriousness, our bad, V103. #wesonlyhuman

Melba Too-Old coming to git us, y’all! COVID and Chemo reflect on the challenges (and joys) of aging and consider the many ways that one can be made to feel old. Even if one was born in, for instance, ‘86, as Lil Boat has shown. PS, That’s NINETEEN eighty-six, y’all. Not 1886. Lawd help!

Our obsession with David Ruffin continues! Here at last is the explanation. Tune in to hear COVID and Chemo tackle all things David Ruffin, including, most gratefully, Leon’s iconic performance in the famed TV miniseries The Temptations (1998).

COVID and Chemo have questions. Twenty-one to be exact, and these ain’t the kind of questions 50 was talkin bout. Our inquiries will take us from Kanye’s work on Jay’s Black Album to Ye’s recent MRI beats; from “slavery is a choice” to Hellscape-Blackface-gate 2022; and from “I don’t read books” to “Hey, let’s open a school.” WTcollectiveF, Ye? Each time, Ye adds nothing but puzzles (and recently f*ckery) to the equation. White supremacy and capitalism are a helluva drug.

COVID and Chemo reflect on the many excesses of #Woodstock99 in this episode. From White greed to aggressive misogyny to the heat waves to the Peace Patrol and many fires, so much had changed in thirty years, y’all. We regret to inform you that an accurate description of the events of Woodstock 1999 require us yet again to express our shock and disgust at the presence of doo-doo feces in inappropriate locales. Trigger warning: This episode also contains discussion of s*xual assa*lt and harassment.

"Not facedown in a wheelchair, god." Tune in for our hot takes on the now-infamous BBL, a cosmetic surgery so pervasive that it must be unpacked (no pun intended). Tales of BBL first encounters, definitions, societal pressures, and Classic Booty affirmations included.

Where were you when you first heard “Slob on My Knob”? Were you excited when Ludacris shouted out the hos in your area code? Did Khia have you talkin bout your neck, your back, and other matters? In this death-defying episode of COVID and Chemo, the duo discuss ho ventriloquism in the club, the basement party, on your way home from work, and elsewhere. When the lyrics are explicit, and you’re a hip hop feminist, what is a body to do but dutty whine it up?

In episode twelve of COVID and Chemo, we’re rooting for one DC Mayor Marion Barry (1936-2014), who once said iconically and non-ironically “I be winning.” Four terms as DC mayor, one shooting, a crack cocaine incident, one infamous set up, and countless comebacks later, this man STAY winning. Younguns take note. #ibewinning
