Good Tidings to our ever loyal and expanding listenership as we delve deeper into the holiday season.. Check out the latest episode of the Mid Week in Review (MWIR) podcast as engineered by Afronerd Radio-airing this Wednesday at 7pm ET. Listen to your hosts (Capt. Kirk, the "Uncanny" Daryll B and Dburt) as they provide insight regarding the following topics: legendary actors, Denzel Washington and Angela Lansbury both weighed in on separate controversies (dearth of fatherhood vs prison industrial complex and women's dress vs their "complicitness" in sexual misconduct, respectively); Is the Black Community ashamed to see poor African-Americans portrayed on TV (like the classic Good Times series); 10 out of the 32 American students selected to attend Oxford University's Rhodes scholar program are distinctly African-American; North Korea launches yet another intercontinental ballistic missle (ICBM) which reached the highest altitude to date with potential to reach North America (oh boy); while Dburt theorizes who might be prospective presidential candidates in 2020, one of those prospects, Sen. Elizabeth Warren gets called "Pocahontas" as a racial slur by Donald Trump (not so) ironically during a a ceremony honoring Native American WW2 Marines; in geek/blerd/NOC news, our impressions of the CW's fourth annual crossover event-Crisis on Earth X. And lastly, Dburt ponders how can Black people normalize scholarship and excellence (a la Blavity's 2nd annual AfroTech conference) when daily displays of dysfunction are de rigueur in global media? Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
