  • Episode 12: Buying Black, HBCUs, and The Next Four Years

    Can we use social pressure to force people to buy from their community? Are your favorite co-hosts allowed to wear HBCU paraphernalia? Does a new president mean a new nope for minority communities? We deep dive into all three of these questions and give you a little taste of what's coming next.

  • Episode 11: Star Wars, Black Actors, and Verzuz

    Once again, we went into this without a script. This adds to our list of filler episodes as we head toward Naruto status. After a long discussion about Star Wars, we dipped into the short pool of black actors that Hollywood uses. The whole discussion took a turn when the topic of the T.I. and Jeezy Verzuz was brought up. This episode closed out with a brief conversation about the Breonna Taylor Grand Jury. Unfortunately, we didn't eye the time as diligently as we should have, and we were forced to edit out the rest of the discussion. 

    Don't fret! The rest of that discussion is vaulted and ready for editing and delivery as Episode 12.

  • Episode 10: Infection, Debates, and Justice

    In this episode, your favorite podcast hosts make good on the promise to discuss more of the current events happening. While waiting to match schedules and accumulate research, we decided that we would do some discussions on what is going on with our nation. We talk about the infected POTUS, the First Presidential Debates, and the question of justice in Ms. Breonna Taylor's case. Not all of the opinions shared are going to make you feel warm and fuzzy, but seeing perspectives besides your own comes with challenge. Let us know what you think.

  • Episode 9: Levity
    We came to the conclusion that there wasn't a lot that needed to be said about social institutions. Because of that, we chose to take this episode in a different direction. We do not like to bring our audience deep topics without researching, so this episode is much lighter. We tackle the loss of Justice Ginsburg, Hamilton, Tik Tok, and whatever else our minds seem to come up with. Enjoy a glimpse into the freelance conversations that led us to create a podcast in the first place.

  • Episode 8: The Religious Institution

    In this episode, we do our best to tackle the role of religion in our journey toward equality. It's not easy to discuss religious influence in equality without dipping into the value of religion itself. We hope you find this discussion as enlightening as we found researching the topic.
