Minisode 2 Trying a new thing called reading our favorite blog posts! This week, we revisit this gem . Revisiting cancel culture and how we handled it in 2019 and now.

Any takes you’ve changed your mind on? You’re allowed to have a change of heart and grow!!! We go in-depth about ours in this episode.

It’s been quiet…too quiet. Random episode about adulthood and the return to festivals/concerts! ( Volume alert: Sound is louder in this episode. I got a new mic!!)

Lil Nas X dropped a song and video about a month ago. We’ve all seen it. Here are the thoughts surrounding the moment in time by 3 Black musicheads.

Hello? Is this thing on? A discussion of Drake's 3 tracks from early 2021.

Some of the BINACT team got together under the full moon to discuss artist evolution…and Dogecoin? LOL

Very first minisode! Happy new year and all that jazz. AD was missed. I’m doing a daily song challenge.

Obligatory Christmas episode ending how we started. Christmas carols vs. Popular Christmas music, Clubhouse minutiae, holiday shenanigans.

What are you thankful for? We talk about the much-appreciated tunes and new life skills from the BINACT team. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Celeb and influencer platform stances can be really annoying. More annoying due to the reality of 2020. This rant, err I mean episode is about airing our grievances.

AD had to get some life stuff squared away (Happy Anniversary!) so OG (blog contributor and podcast editor) joined me to kick back. We run through some songs on our (home) gym playlists, get annoyed at aging, and reminisce on ringback tones on this shorter iteration of the podcast.

The inaugural R&B episode 2021 (Episode 19)
