Dig on America

Kwasi "Q" joins the show to discuss the history of black American conservatives and we cover some of the current Republicans in the movement, ranking the best and the most vile.  Q, best known for his role as leader of Qanon (not really different Q) is a black conservative himself and a strong Second Amendment advocate. Included in the chat are Condoleezza Rice, Larry Elder, Clarence Thomas, Karl Malone Candace Owens, Michael Steele and Jesse L Peterson.  We also offer commentary on Hunter Biden's art career (and why it's a problem) and the turmoil happening now in Cuba. 

Have comics gotten more political?  What's Dean Cain so mad about? And why is Fox News recruiting a second rate Superman to criticize Captain America? We explore the history of comics and comic book movies and discuss the social issues and politics found in comic related media and superhero films.  Special guest voice actor Matt Delhauer from the Jock and Nerd and Ginger Geek podcasts. Plus Obama debates the Joker live on DoA!!
