Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast. Hands down.
Finally. A radio talk show hosted by intelligent black folks WITHOUT the coonery, WITHOUT the broken english and WITHOUT the N-Word flying around every 3 seconds.
BUT WAIT! THAT'S NOT ALL!
You get all of this WITHOUT a brainwashed, conservative POV. Finally, a black podcast coming from the left that is informed, hosted by articulate people and led by the very funny Elon James White!
Not only do they cover politics and effectively counter the conservative punditocracy that has taken over the media, but they lampoon the ridiculousness of CURRENT black american pop culture.
If you like the vibe of Aaron McGruder's early Boondocks comic strips, you'll love this show. No joke, this is the podcast that I have been waiting for ever since I discovered internet radio 5 years ago.
Yup
If you want to know what it's like to be black, smart & an American in 2011, you NEED THIS podcast in your life.
*hits my Dougie*
Funny show that I love
Being a person who both likes a week and blackness this gives me my recommended daily dose of both, keep up the great work.
Hittin my ratchet dougie daily
