    This is a bonus episode in collaboration to a project I did in the Spring semester of my time at CSULB; a radio station called Black Ink. Under 22 West Radio I had the opportunity to volunteer my time to learn how to practice talking about music over sound waves. In this first episode I'm finally uploading audio interviews I've done in the past with artists I've come across during my time learning about journalism. I'm excited to share but nervous because of the time it took for me to finally upload. Bone apple teeth. Thank you Nathan for allowing me to interview you. (underground superstars is apart of this un-uploaded folder) Music: https://www.bensound.com License code: 3DSNPIHHTNKFKBK0 badass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4cvae4ZjAM Check out YoungKenway on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.Young Kenway - Instabio | Link in bio --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/awkadultingpod/message

    Hellooooo BONUS episodes will be a regular thing. I want to talk about journalism, reporting, interviewing and try to learn about the art of telling someones story. I went to an event in Los Angeles giving smaller artists a chance to share their music live. I'll share some of my interviews, their performances and my reflection on reporting for my first music event for an internship that ended that night. I'm practicing with Adobe Audition. This is my first time trying it out- please, bare with me.

    hello, I am back with a disclaimer episode. In the past I would avoid certain topics that I would love to talk about for the sake of my image. In the upcoming season I want to be more open and vulnerable about my experiences. In other episodes I would always sugarcoat what was going on to save image of mainly myself and my life choices. But looking back it has definitely created a false picture in my head that I am resolved, when I'm really not. Next year I hope you will continue to listen to more embarrassing stories, rants and emotional self reflections. I will also upload bonus content I'm working on for fun. Please follow the podcast on Instagram @awkadultingpod. I don't upload on a schedule so to keep up with the podcast subscribe!

    Black Hair was inspired by the Jada incident. I was at work on my lunch when I found out what had happened. I was surprised but not, after finding out it was because of the jokes made about Jada's hair condition. Me and my coworkers discussed for days who was in the wrong and who was in the right. Twitter was split in two on wether or not Will should of been arrested and charged with assault. But you want to know what I was thinking? Bruh why are we still joking about Black womens hair??????
