from Afronerd Radio · host Afronerd Radio

The journey continues and so does the Afronerd Radio Machine's Mid Week in Review (MWIR)! Tune in to a new broadcast airing this Wednesday at 7pm eastern. The topics being placed on the "grill" are: addressing some issues we failed to get to during Monday's Grindhouse; including more COVID-19 NYC (and beyond) developments; now Marvel has suspended digital comic production. Is that a maneuver to halt the demise of the brick and mortar comic shoppes? Or is the plan that Comics Hub is planning a light at the end of the tunnel?; We discuss; is celebrity culture getting its comeuppance during the pandemic?; further evidence that we shouldn't always scrap something believed to be obsolete...can we see the return of the drive-in theater in a post COVID world?; more sci-fi/comic book movie rescheduling updates; Lastly, if the comic industry is in trouble, what will happen to sports (and its punditry?). Call LIVE at 646-915-9620.
