Season 3, Episode 16: Toxic Podcast, Masculinity and the Cult of Kevin Samuels

There seems to be an influx of toxic podcast run by insecure, supposedly "alpha" men who are the very antithesis of manhood. And often, Black women are at the center of their ridicule. Today we talk about toxic podcasts, platforms for men who are terrible, and how detrimental they are to the community. For reference, here is a great ELLE article on the "Black Manosphere". Read Here.  In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk Cardi B willing against Tasha K, Tristan Thompson's new baby, and Lil Mama being a "pick me". In Watching Romance, we review Vanished staring Tatyana Ali (Lifetime), Too Hot to Handle, The Gilded Age and our eagerness for upcoming projects like Bridgeton, Love is Blind and more Lifetime movies. In Reading Romance, all hail Saint by Sierra Simone (an m/m, taboo story of lust and forgiveness). In Listening to Romance, we shout out Tati's appearance on the Tall Dark and Fictional Podcast. Listen here. And look forward to The Rom Com Room w/ Mercedes and Kendra. Bookmark it here.
