This week on REWIND: It’s VMA season and we are watching MTV CBS and wondering who everybody is and why the VMA’s don’t have that sparkle in their eye like they used to!! After discussing our top moments, fav outfits, and dissect the culture that is the VMA’s, we get political and figure out why it seems everything important is getting a budget cut! Then, we move onto a surprising announcement from Jonathan Bailey, followed by SOME WILD STORIES about GROWN ADULTS taking what doesn’t belong to them. The tea gets hotter as we discuss some listener interactions Blake & Raven have recently had, Kelly Price’s explosive LIVE read of black women, minding our business instead of Ciara’s family business, and Cardi B’s hilarious court trial. FINALLY, we hit the newly titled: REWIND RUNDOWN, where we discuss the latest Netflix documentary “Unknown Number”, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and the twist that has pretty much ruined Big Brother, and rapid fire what movies you should watch this weekend. It’s a little bit about a lot, and it’s all right here on REWIND!

ABOUT REWIND: The Podcast - Hosted by the effortlessly charismatic duo Raven Dawson and Blake Rackley, REWIND: The Podcast is where pop culture past meets pop culture present—with a whole lot of personality in between. Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today’s most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they’re revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
