Room 518 Podcast
by Quiet Loud Media
Welcome to Room 518 — where DeAntony Collins and Big Kountry talk like family because we are. One host is the introvert with a microphone from The Quiet Loud. The other is Big Kountry with the laugh you hear before you see him. Every Tuesday at 8PM ET we pull up from Raleigh, NC and Atlanta, GA and get into it: Tyler Perry and Black Hollywood, reboots vs remakes, Living Single vs Friends, A Different World and HBCU life, Martin dream casts, 90s sitcoms, movies we love and movies we can't finish, plus fatherhood, grief, growing up, and getting older without losing yourself. No shouting. No hot-take chaos. Just sharp, funny, honest talk that leaves you smarter and closer than when you pressed play. Room 518 is the culture side of The Quiet Loud Network — internal patterns, everyday life. New episodes every Tuesday. Hit pl
