In this episode, we celebrate National Radio Day by recognizing the pivotal role radio has played in mass media communication. The discussion shifts to a growing trend across U.S. cities—alternative first responder programs that send unarmed civilians to certain emergencies. Meanwhile, Latto weighs in on who she thinks is the greatest female MC, and Hurricane Chris calls out 50 Cent, questioning his connection to the people. In today’s "Big Up Let Down," we highlight the power of respect and touch on Sheryl Lee Ralph's inspiring message to the 40 and up club. 

Listeners also get a surprising tale from Indiana, where a woman thought she had hacked an "All You Can Eat" deal—only to be let down in a way she didn’t see coming. Plus, a caller voices concerns about the Democratic National Convention, and Amanda Seales responds with her thoughts on whether the event is more than just a glorified pep rally. Don’t miss this lively discussion filled with candid opinions and cultural moments.
