Sannu (Nigerian-Hausa language) to all our loyal listeners. Welcome to a new episode of Afronerd Radio'sMid Week in Review broadcast, airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST. Join Capt. Kirk and Dburt as they wax about the following issues: based on a twitter discussion, we might have yet another sonic slugfest over the efficacy of the Black Lives Matter movement between compatriot podcasters at Podcast Juice; budding filmmaker, Rafael Martinez drops by to discuss his Kickstarter campaign-movie project entitled, A Fistful of Dartz; another shooting and subsequent collateral damage incident occurred during this past weekend's Brooklyn Carribbean Day parade with a rising Harvard trained attorney getting caught in the literal crossfire; for a long overdue Blue Area segment, we highlight basketball phenom, Lebron James recent expansion of his Lebron James Family Foundation program to include/assist adults seeking high school diploma certification; a new CNN.com study asserts that even blind folks possess the potential to bear racial prejudice; according to a recent Atlantic article, in the wake of a post Obama presidency, predominant and assumptive Black support for the Democratic Party may be waning. And lastly, The Mission's Joseph Illidge puts the focus on the current spate of comics dealing with Black masculine imagery. Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620. Perhaps we've never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there's no sign of intelligent life.-Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson
