Hentations

And we are back with episode 106 of the Hentations. As men, we are constantly tasked with taking women on lovely dates and making sure that everything is to their liking. On this episode, we ask, “What about us?” We make sure to take care of women but are we occasionally allowing ourselves to be treated? When was the last time that the person you're with did something nice for you and what are the nice things you want to see done? Listen to the episode and share your opinion on social media.

And we are back with episode 104 of the Hentations. Accountability is a word that's continually used these days. When you say or promote something, you have to be willing to be held accountable for whatever that thing is. This is something that we currently see playing out with Kanye West and Kyrie Irving. For this episode, we're sharing our thoughts on accountability and the responsibilities placed on black celebrities in the public eye. Share your thoughts with us on social media. Toasts RIP to the legendary @yrntakeoff. Prayers to his family and friends. And a final thank you to him for all the years of entertainment!

And we are back with episode 102 of the Hentations. The streets don't love anyone and the same can be said for social media. No matter who you are, public perception can flip on you in an instant. And that can be for better or worse. For this episode, we're taking a look at how we've seen the public perception of certain individuals change dramatically and the roles that race and gender play in these situations. Listen to the episode and let us know how you feel about ever changing public perception. Disclaimer: Hentations LLC is only providing objective observations

The Hentations are currently involved in a hold-in until our contracts are renegotiated. In the meantime, episode 101.5 is now available! For this episode, we're having a conversation with our Gen Z representative, Tre. While there are clear generational differences, there are also similarities. Conversations like these allow both generations to leave with gems and it's always good to find out what the “kids” are doing these days.

And we are back with episode 101 of the Hentations! Fresh off our 100th episode (and best-selling calendar), we're asking ourselves “What's next?” One of the hardest things to do is focus on what we believe to be mundane after life's big moments. For this episode, we talk about how we try to plan for what's next but also take a moment to enjoy everything else currently happening.

And we are back with episode 99 of the Hentations! We can't lie, everything sucks. Sure our personal lives aren't in shambles, but the state of the country can't be overlooked. From overturning Roe v. Wade, to a never ending series of mass shootings, to fears of a recession, we've seen better days. In this episode, we share our feelings about all of these things.

And we are back with episode 98 of the Hentations! This episode is all about modern music intake. While streaming has made music more accessible, it has also come with its fair share of negatives.

When someone of any type of note passes, we all feel like we have to say something about that person. Whether we're singing their praises or challenging their beliefs, everybody seems like they have to join in on the conversation.

And we are back with Episode 95 of the Hentations. This episode is all about the white rappers. Whether it's the Beastie Boys, Eminem, or Post Malone, there's nothing new about white rappers in hip-hop. While some respect the craft and culture, others have clearly used the genre as a launch pad to do other things. Where do we as black consumers of hip-hop draw the line and begin to question the credibility of white rappers? Listen to the podcast and share your thoughts with us on the socials.

And we are back with episode 89 of the Hentations. While history should ultimately be the retelling of recorded facts, teaching it is not always that simple. Things can be skewed towards one set of people or certain feats can be ignored. As we celebrate Black History Month, we want to make sure that the focus remains on actually teaching history. While buzzwords like Critical Race Theory can, at times, distract from the main point, it is essential to provide accurate history that explains the role race has played in shaping this country.

Happy New Years! We are back with episode 87 of the Hentations. We are coming in hot for our first episode of 2022, which is all about going viral. In a world where audiences have become more interested in big moments, how does that dictate the content that is being created? For some platforms, this means creating drama or tension in hope of generating a viral moment.

Thanksgiving provides a great opportunity to think about the incomplete history lessons we receive in school that often ignore how these holidays impacted people of color. While we recognize these holidays in some fashion, we often only think about them as times to be with family and overlook (willingly for some) true historical context.

And we are back with Episode 60! The votes have all been cast and, despite what a certain person says, we do have a new president. On the latest episode, the Hentations talk about how we’re feeling now that the election is over. How did we get through election night? Are we hopeful that this will be the beginning of an American turning point? Do we fear that nothing will change for those vulnerable communities that need help the most? Listen to our thoughts for the next four years and share with us how you’re feeling post-election.

And we back! In our latest episode, your favorite co-hosts ask important questions about the role of materialism in relationships. Everyone likes to get something nice, but how much emphasis do we put on those things within our relationships? What level of gifts are you comfortable with giving within certain stages of a relationship? Why do men sometimes not feel comfortable asking for a gift? And, is anyone buying a Birkin? Save you some time for the last one, hell no (until we blow up). We do our best to answer the rest of the questions and more. Listen and share your thoughts with us on social media!

We are back with Episode 57 of the Hentations podcast. This week your favorite cohosts take a look at weddings and engagements. With two of our members taking the plunge, we examine the decision to get engaged, planning the moment itself, and then planning the wedding that follows. We also take a look at the pressure that exists for those that are still waiting to make that decision. Our friend Porsha joins us this week to give a woman’s POV and detail her own experience. Take a listen and share your thoughts about engagements and weddings with us on social media.
