We had a few preemptions, but we're back, live and in full effect! Welcome to our infamous Mid Week in Review broadcast, airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm-courtesy of Afronerd Radio. Join Dburt and Capt. Kirk as they unravel the following current event centric topics: a brief overview pertaining to the passing of a legend-actress, Ruby Dee leaves us at 91; director, John Singleton believes that today's Black cinema should exhibit more "negritude"; Dburt laments the nonchalence displayed toward Black fatherhood (think no petition against Happy Father's Day, Mom cards vs outrage for Blu Ivy's alleged unkempt hair); what exactly is "cryptocurrency" and should folks of color invest in it; Dburt finally gets around to discussing Swedish TV's Real Humans and how the sci-fi series eerily relates to American Slavery; the New York Post highlights gentrification from a unique perspective.....hence, the "Williamsburg effect" and lastly, hip hop legend, Chuck D takes issue with urban radio programming and gets disrespected by local NY radio in the process.
