What's up, folks! Due to time constraints, we're going straight to the topics! You know the deal....it's Wednesday's infamous Mid Week in Review (MWIR) podcast featuring your regular Afronerd Radio not ready for prime time podcasters airing 7pm eastern. The topics to be discussed are: former PA Senator and CNN commentator, Rick Santorum caused quite a ruckus for his recent comments suggesting that the young March for Our Lives protesters should "learn CPR" as opposed to challenging US gun laws; the young plaintiff in 1954 responsible for the landmark Supreme Court case, Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka which effectively dismantled apartheid in American schools, Linda Brown, passes at the age of 75; a recent Brookings Institute study asserts that Black men are bringing Black women down financially and therefore affecting the fairer sex' chances for upward mobility; MIT is constructing a mini "sun" that could provide an endless supply of green energy on a global scale by 2033; what exactly is a biocomputer and have scientists found a way to build one?; as expected, a new song, this time performed by Lil Dicky and Chris Brown, reignites the long standing debate about White n-word usage (oh yeah and another video of White girls singing the song surfaces); picking up from the previous Grindhouse topic-we give our impressions of the future plotlines for the CW's Black Lightning; and lastly, the Wall Street Journal reports that there has been an uptick in Brazilian women requesting blue eyed white sperm donors from the United States. Call into the show LIVE at 646-915-9620.
