We are back with Episode 57 of the Hentations podcast. This week your favorite cohosts take a look at weddings and engagements. With two of our members taking the plunge, we examine the decision to get engaged, planning the moment itself, and then planning the wedding that follows. We also take a look at the pressure that exists for those that are still waiting to make that decision. Our friend Porsha joins us this week to give a woman’s POV and detail her own experience. Take a listen and share your thoughts about engagements and weddings with us on social media.

“Je t’adore Hentations...” Our take on the well-known Girls, Girls, Girls opening.

This week your favorite co-hosts are taking a look at some of their favorite hip-hop songs and explaining why they may have been unable to become hits in this modern era. Whether it’s the use of certain words or subject matter that that has become unacceptable, there are some songs that just don’t seem to fit anymore. We examine if/how PC culture has affected hip-hop music in recent years and even sprinkle in some questions about misogyny. Listen to this week’s episode and hit us on social media to share some of your favorite songs that you don’t think could be hits anymore.

And we Back!

Episode 55 sees things get a little intense between the Hentations as they discuss the media’s depiction of the Black experience. While pain is an unavoidable part of this experience, does there come a point when we’re overwhelmed with Black pain in our movies and television shows? While every race deserves the opportunity to tell as many facets of their story as possible, this is a luxury that is not readily afforded to minorities. Should we focus on expanding the scope or continue to emphasize this pain to make sure our plight is seen? Listen to this week’s episode and share your thoughts as well!

Back in one room again! For episode 54, the Hentations discuss getting older. Everyone has to do it but there are a lot of questions that come along the way. From shifting priorities (just can’t do late night happy hours as much) to avoiding the trappings of comparison culture, we examine how our perspectives of getting older have evolved with time. Listen to the conversation and share your thoughts on getting older!

And we back (little b)! For episode 53, your favorite cohosts take a long look at Politically Correct, or PC, Culture. PC Culture has UNDOUBTEDLY helped to make us more cognizant of what we say and how we say it. However, questions about the extent and sincerity of these cultural changes still exist. From Apu to Trader Jose, the Hentations left no stones unturned. Listen to the conversation and let us know your thoughts on PC Culture!

Tune in as the Hentations weigh in on the seemingly endless fight against racism and police brutality in the America today, and how with the senseless killing of George Floyd along with the countless others who’ve lost their lives to police violence and brutality has us all trying to figure out how we can take the fight for Justice and equality in this country even further.

We're tired. I'm sure yall are tired. Not too many laughs this week. Just a space to vent...
