UnLearned Katherine and Bill UnLearned is a bi-weekly podcast focused on unlearning harmful narratives taught to us about blackness, womanhood, sexuality, and religion. Through our show, we hope to deconstruct these power structures and to create a space of relearning. As we share our stories, we hope that you will share yours. Together we can show that blackness means many things, that it is comprised of many stories, and that many voices make our choir. Explicit Thee Invisible Cabin Bailey Jay & Matt Terhune Internet sensation Bailey Jay, aka linetrap, and her friend Matt talk about news, politics, celebrity gossip, and more. Listen to Bailey being informative and funny along with celebrity guests and other incredible stuff. Explicit Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh Flagrant is a comedy podcast that delivers unfiltered, unapologetic, and unruly hot takes directly to your dome piece. In an era dictated by political correctness, hosts Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, along with AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon, could care less about sensitivities. If it’s funny and flagrant it flies. If you are sensitive this podcast is not for you. But if you miss the days of comedians actually being funny instead of preaching to a choir then welcome to The Flagrancy. THE GREATEST HANG IN THE UNIVERSE!
