Greetings Watchers!

On this special episode, we go in depth about the question: what makes a television show Black? We build on the debate from out last episode and get academic with your friendly neighborhood Scandalologist, Dr. Kadian Pow (K.P.)

We also talk about what is hot in Black British media. Later Lady D and Lady H play concierge and give custom recommendations for K.P. and, hopefully, you. You can find a listing of many of the media mentioned here (some with links!)

Thanks for listening! Please tweet us your feedback!

On our guest, Dr. Kadian Pow

Lady D's plan to take over the world entered phase one, so she was unavailable for this bonus episode. Ever the resourceful lady, Lady H made a plea before the Queen...Queen Melmendi, that is, to talk Royal Rumble predictions and how we feel about wrestling right now. Spoiler alert: Do better by Black women in wrestling! We still plan to hoot and holler during the PPV, so join us as we live tweet using #RawCast with our Wrasslecast family and see how we did. Also, who are your picks for this year's Rumble? Tweet us and let us know!

And we are back with part 2 of Mistlehoe your way through Harlem! This episode goes in on Amazon Prime's Harlem. Per usual, we give a spoiler free take, and then we go on to give a spoiler filled review. The ladies are still boozy, so expect some laughter, a game of FMK, and a bonus talk about Seven Days in June by Tia Williams; the audio kickback of the book soon come. Did you watch Harlem? Let us know what you think! 

We found lots of principles of Kwanzaa in this series? Did you? If so, please let us know which ones. 

Happy Boxing Day, all!

Today is also the first day of Kwanzaa. The first principle is Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. Fitting for this episode, yeah?

Hey Watchers!
