Hey peeps...it's on! Check out the latest episode of the Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review podcast airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST.  Join Capt. Kirk and Dburt as they tackle the following (mid) week topical mysteries: Dburt alludes to an intelligence quotient quagmire revolving around a few inane stories (NC 188 million lotto winner and her choice in paramours, TX teen killed while vandalizing an auto dealership, WH staffer shoots at boyfriend, etc); hat tip to Shadow and Act for their highlighting a web series about a Back to the Future slavery scenario; perhaps a Blue Area segment, concerning less with Houston Texan RB, Arian Foster's atheism admission and more about his financial responsibility; yet another article from The Root conflating thug attire with casual wear and profiling; more on the media's math: Blonde White female(FOX's Megyn Kelly) > Blacks + Mexicans ÷ War hero= 0 respect; Verge Entertainment's Joseph Illidge has a interesting Mission piece positing the viability of mass protests against comic book publishers.  And lastly, Chinese hip hop channels US trap music for the Middle Kingdom (sigh..."nigga" remains unchanged in Manderin).  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
