Street Academy Podcast
by Street Academy Podcast
Welcome to Street Academy Podcast. We are three black academic scholars who keep one foot in the academy and one in the streets. We bring conversations from the church, streets, dinner tables, hbcus, black twitter and other cultural spaces and blend them with discourse from books theories and science to create interesting conversations. In other words we blend the righteous and the ratchet.
