On this episode, we're feeling extra lovey dovey so we decided to check in about how quarantine is a very different experience for those of us who are boo'd up and those of us who are not. We also chat about some of our favorite romance films.  

Then, Issa Rae comes by to talk about her newest Netflix film, Lovebirds. And, of course, we get some tea about her thoughts on the response to this season of Insecure.

And lastly, we end the show with some recommendations that'll make you feel good about your home and yourself.

Scottie and Sylvia share a goodbye message to the Okay Now Listen audience.

Okay, Now We're Saying Goodbye

This week, we have a special episode, indeed. We sit down with the multitalented, Golda Rosheuvel, aka Queen Charlotte on Netflix's Bridgerton. We chat with Her Highness about the second season of the hit show, as well as the freedom of love. We even get The Queen to agree to an innocent game of 'Queen Approved.'

Okay, The Queen Has Arrived (with Golda Rosheuvel)

This week, we start off by checking in about Netflix's The Ultimatum.  That reunion was as messy as we thought it'd be. Then, we spend some time talking about what it takes to live a life of ease and softness as Black women.
Finally, we bring on the multitalented Heather Headley to chat about the ways she intentionally worked to create softness into her character, Helen, on Netflix's Sweet Magnolias, and her journey from theatre to music to acting.
Oh, one more thing, this podcast, along with our Youtube series, Get You A Me, have received Webby nominations and we'd love for y'all to vote for us! You can vote for our podcast here and for Get You A Me here. We appreciate y'all!

Okay, We're Reclaiming Our Softness (with Heather Headley)

We are back, baby! This week, we check-in after our *little* hiatus and chat about our vacation adventures and what we've been binging. Hint: It's been a lot of dating reality shows. 

Then, we spend some time talking about the representation of Black women on these dating reality shows. We bring on the one and only, Lauren Speed-Hamilton, star of season one of Netflix's Love Is Blind, to expand the conversation even further as she shares her experience being casted and produced for the show.
