What's up, folks! For brevity's sake, let's just jump into the festivities, shall we? Join Dburt and Capt. Kirk for the latest episode of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review podcast, airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST.

And lastly, are we seeing the emergence of a new brand of activism via personalities, Deray Mckesson and Bree Newsome? (including a superhero themed tweet nod from filmmaker, Ava DuVernay). Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
