It might take some time but we're confident that our ever loyal listeners/followers will get used to our new broadcasting home courtesy of BTalk 100. Join your favorite AFROnerdists for this Mother's Day Sunday Grindhouse episode as powered by the Afronerd Radio machine airing at 6pm eastern and again heard at this very website. The topics to be discussed are as follows: black culture and music took a heavy hit with the passing of three iconic figures-Richard Penniman aka Little Richard, "The Architect of Rock and Roll," famed music mogul/record executive (Uptown Records and Motown Records) and classic hip hop artist, Andre Harrell and noted R & B songstress, Betty Wright:
More unfortunate but necessary COVID-19 news and developments; another legendary quarantine inspired VERZUZ match-up took place this weekend and this time it involved stellar neo-soul artists, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott-the ladies garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers via Instagram (will black culture get its social media due? if it's not black Twitter, it's instagram); Oh and is the next battle going to be between rappers, Ludacris and Nelly?; conservative radio host, Dennis Prager raised the ire of the internet from what appeared to be his meandering thoughts about how African-Americans (and Indigenous people) self identify; something we failed to discuss on our last show-the social media debate about UK singer, Adele's weight loss and how the response is actually a form of toxicity; the creators of the extremely popular Rick and Morty animated series have branched out into another similar cartoon imprint (this time on Hulu) called Solar Opposites; Dburt discovers yet another UK series that might become a "must watch" streaming exercise entitled, Gangs of London; oh and CBS' God Friended Me has been cancelled (Argh!); writers Mikki Kendall (Hood Feminism) and L.L. McKinney (A Blade So Black) might help those who can't view the highly anticipated (and COVID preempted) Black Widow film based on their new writing gig involving the same character via Marvel's Serial Box Exclusive series, Black Widow: Bad Blood; in lieu of a forthcoming Mortal Kombat live action reboot (and the recently released animated download/DVD, Scorpion's Revenge); a trailer for an extension to the MK11 video game just hit the cyberwebs entitled, Aftermath; Lastly, why was the term #newblacks trending on twitter recently? Call in LIVE at our new number: 1-508-645-0100.
