In the standard Afronerd Radio tradition, we attempt to give our listeners a full aural meal! It's still a "double mint" Sunday with The Comic Shoppe airing at 6pm and Afronerd featuring Captain Kirk batting second at 7pm eastern. What's sure to be an exciting and informative broadcast, check out our interview with budding filmmaker, Justin Simien who is causing quite stir with his film short and soon to be full length movie, entitled Dear White People. DWP is a provocative look at the frictional relationship between Black and White (including INTRAracial conflicts) students attending a fictional predominantly White northeastern university. This is not the film (nor the podcast) to miss! And least we forget, The Comic Shoppe starts off first, with the crew's weekly analysis of the latest news in the world of comic book, fantasy, sci-fi and video gaming.
