In this episode I catch up with my friend Fredrick "DJ Big Twin" Brown and we talk about his journey in becoming an up-and-coming DJ(Disc Jockey). Fred shares his experiences, advice and talks about how he handles the attention that comes with his growing celebrity.

Arguably the funniest episode to date, Christopher "Big Chris" Pugh stops by the Culture and Conversations podcast to discuss his career in comedy, the influences from his childhood, his support system and his mentoring activities. I also share my thoughts about the Martin Luther King Jr. Dodge Ram Super Bowl commercial controversy, Jemele Hill leaving Sports Center and a few observations about Valentine's Day.

This is a great episode where I briefly discuss my feelings about "fake outrage" as well as the need to be empathetic to the cultural experiences and expressions of others. To conclude the episode I talk with Londoun "Black Crystal" Jackson about cosplay(costume play), the community around cosplay and some heart-warming ways cosplay makes a difference in the lives of many people.

In this episode I talk about the negotiation between Mo'Nique and Netflix over her proposed comedy special. I share an original poem from my personal collection.
