Welcome to 30 days of podcasts! NaNoWriMo .

Talking and standup comedy

I talk about Lenny Kravitz and Mariah Carey’s memoirs which I am listening to on Audible.com

Despite the news in metro Atlanta area, it was easy for me to vote in Savannah.  Line moved fast and it was seamless.  

Talking about Mariah Carey’s memoir and early voting in Georgia.

In this episode, I talk about the Go-Gos, since I watched the documentary on Amazon Prime. I lament the lack of all-girl bands.  Then I talk about food. I love over easy eggs for breakfast.  I think you should make your pumpkin spice mix.  I also talk about outdoor eating etiquette and fizzy water.

This episode is about cupcakes and the democratization of desserts. Check out Heather Saffer’s cookbook, The Dollop Book of Frosting.

I talk about John Lewis, Selma, the Voting Rights Act and on a lighter note, the Freestyle Love Supreme Documentary.

This whole episode is me talking about my jokes. It might be funny. I am performing standup comedy next week at an outdoor show.

I talk about fireworks (again) Venmo, capitalism, ice cream flavors for a la mode and my recipe for red, white and blue chicken salad. My Venmo handle is @niche.

Season your food. Build a better bar at home. Hard seltzer is a scam. Aperol Spritz is the summer cocktail.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but I am concerned about the fireworks. The Department of Treasury needs to get these counterfeit bills. Eric Andre’s Netflix special is hilarious and watch Roy Wood Jr’s special, Father Figure.

I talk about Juneteenth. Read Toni Tipton Martin’s book, The Jemima Code.

I talk about reparations and Black Capitalism but on a lighter note, food waste. Subscribe to the newsletter, http://nichelle.substack.com
