The Read
Join bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.)
As transplants to New York City (Kid Fury from Miami and Crissle from Oklahoma City), The Read also serves as an on-air therapy session for two friends trying to adjust to life (and rats) in the big city.
The Read is part of the LoudSpeakers Network and is published every week on iTunes, iHeart Radio Talk, Soundcloud & Stitcher.

The Wedding Snatchers
The hosts dive into the duality of financial struggles and celebrating the achievement of Jewel Rogers, the first Black American Poet Laureate of Nebraska. Legal controversies, like a high-profile defamation case involving Kendrick, highlight the complex intersection of celebrity culture and racial identity. They explore the vibrant traditions of Nigerian weddings and the emotional turmoil stemming from betrayal after one friend suspects another of theft. With humorous takes on navigating intruders and film adaptations, the discussion balances cultural insights with personal anecdotes.
