Tape On Elastic Joints
This easily could have been an hour-long PSA about the importance of stretching.
-
A Whole Half
Amber recently ran the Publix Atlanta half marathon (in the cold and with nonstop rain!) and has not stopped talking about it. She also talks about the Russia/Ukraine war and how media outlets across the globe are showing their bigotry by expressing their sympathy towards the Ukrainians because...

In A Nutshell
First episode of the year! Here's the gist:
-
Buh-Bye
2021 is coming to an end and it can totally kick rocks. This year was a ball-bust, but we made it. Cheers to that. Amber also makes NBA mid-season predictions. Y'all have a good rest of the year, and catch y'all in the new one!
-
Dang, Mane
A lot has happened in the last month, including recent tragic and abrupt deaths of Memphis rapper Young Dolph abd fashion icon Virgil Abloh passing from cancer. Not to mention another young angry white male school shooter (which Amber forgot to mention in this episode, ironically). She also…

Diss Track
Jonin'town, USA

All My Plants F*** With Me
Amber talks about keeping her distance and not killing her plants. And, of course, basketball stuff.
-
What Otis and Aretha Said
Sometimes respect needs to be spelled out for some folk to offer it. Speaking of - much respect to Giannis and da Bucks for winning the NBA Finals, capping off an explosive season. Amber also speaks at length on misogynoir and the “mammy” stereotype. Plus - she finally watched Hoop Dreams!
-
Hello??
Anybody there? It's been so long since Amber recorded an episode, she almost forgot how to work the dang thang. The Hawks had a fun run in the Eastern Conference Finals, the final Finals are off to a great start thanks to Monty Williams and 'nem, and ESPN still can't get right when it comes to...
-
Return of the Comeback Mack
Where you been, Kwame?! They been roasting you for two straight decades! It's never too late for a comeback, though, so bravo, Bro. All The Smoke is still a podcast fave, but the roastfest was definitely in the former No. 1 NBA Draft pick's favor. There's even more NBA action with the…
more -
Mic Hopper
The return to stand-up comedy is OFFICIAL official, and it's been rad. RIP Shock G. RIP Andrew Brown, Jr. (another trigger-happy cop). Yasuke on Netflix is dope. Mortal Kombat is definitely better than the 1995 and 1997 films (that's all that matters, ya haters!). Also: menthol cigarettes might...
-
Guilty Like Whoa
George Floyd and his family gets justice...kinda. But not too long after another cop killed another child. RIP Ma'Khia Bryant. Another loss in the hip-hop community. RIP Black Rob. In other news - happy 420! And Steph Curry out here wildin' on the court. Listen, watch, and share!
-
Try and Do
"That's the difference/Between me and you." (Amber swear she got bars) Another week, another hashtag due to another cop's racist act being veiled as incompetence. RIP Duante Wright. Hip-hop mourns the loss of a legend, Earl “DMX” Simmons. Amber also talks about returning to live stand up comedy....
-
Mum’s Da Word, Lil Bih
There was a lot of tattletaling in the past week. Hip-hop fans praying hard for DMX, the MLB All-Star Game gets pulled out of Atlanta because of the voter suppression bill, and some super random social media drama in the NBA. Enjoy on all podcast streaming platforms and on YouTube!

-
Get Ya Mans, Mane
E’erbody wildin’.
-
Terrorists Like White Elephants
Police and media continue to fail to address the obvious when it comes to hate crimes. Anti-Asian hate crimes have increased in the past year, and the tragic shooting in Acworth and Atlanta was no different. Condolences to the victims and their families.

Flies In Whole Milk

Even more wild shit is poppin' off! More white rage from the most privileged group of people. More deadpan musings, but this time also on camera! Amberland is now recording the podcast with video -- for now. Let's see how this goes. 2021 already flexin.' Instagram: @amberlandpodcast YouTube:...
-

The Juice
Much like 100 percent cranberry juice, this episode contains zero sugar. Being sweet is overrated, anyway. Sometimes you gotta let 'em know like Cam'ron, whom Amber talks about as one of many musicians who had mad skills on the basketball court. She also talks about James Harden and Giannis...
-

Deflated and Elevated Pigs
Politicians, amirite?!! Amber is glad the sh*t-show is over. Except that it's not.
-
She Got Game
Amber couldn’t wait to use this title. She balled for the first time in over a year and is now super juiced up. Still roasting people for being on their same bullshit, especially after having a blue moon on Halloween, just days before a super divisive election. Sheesh. Anyway, welcome to…

Here We Go
Lovecraft Country isn't the only one with a Season 1 Finale. Welcome to the last episode of AIA's pilot season, baby! It's been a fun-filled 40 episodes, so here's a toast to Season 2 on the way. Amber talks about a variety of topics, including the goofy behaviors of single folks. Y'all wild.
-
Bittersweet Victory
The Los Angeles Lakers did it for Kobe. If only he was alive to bask in the glory. But still - heartwarming stuff. LeBron won his fourth title with his third team - first time in the Western Conference. Shout out to the NBA for having zero positive COVID-19 test results during the entire bubble...

That’s how much longer we have for this year to finally end. RIP Lute Olson. RIP Cliff Robinson. RIP John Thompson. Also: it feels like Octavia Butler’s books are relevant now more than ever.
-
Super Thug
This ain't a Neptunes-produced joint. This that YAWM (young angry white male) shit. Like Don King used to say: "Only in America." Justice for Jacob Blake. RIP Chadwick Boseman.
