Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcomed Cleo and Callie of the Melanin Muses Podcast for a bonus episode built around Hamilton trivia, anime, and mental health advocacy. The conversation traced how Melanin Muses began during the pandemic, moved through the meaning behind the podcast's name via Disney's Hercules, and dug into how algorithm bias against Black-branded content shaped their marketing decisions. Cleo and Callie used Fruits Basket's Tohru Honda to illustrate self-neglect, referenced Naruto's Sasuke and Fullmetal Alchemist while discussing community building, and pointed to Avatar: The Last Airbender's Zuko as an example of using pop culture to spark connection. Callie, a clinical therapist, grounded the discussion in practical guidance for creators, including warnings about parasocial relationships and the permanence of internet content.The Mental Health Check-In featured Kendrick Lamar's "United in Grief" as a reference point for Mo's disclosure of living with bipolar II and a prolonged manic episode, alongside Ode's discussion of unmedicated ADHD and PMDD and Cleo's reflections on upcoming travel to Japan and Korea. The Big Mad segment covered postpartum depression awareness, the loss of public figures including Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, and the arrest of Milo Yiannopoulos by ICE, closing with a critique of science fiction's robot-as-oppressed-minority allegory. The episode ended on Making Us Happy, featuring the Love and Deep Space character Valko, a karaoke callback to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century's "Supernova Girl," and mentions of the Melanin Muses Fruits Basket episode.You can find Melanin Muses Linktree here: https://linktr.ee/melaninmusespodcastConnect with the Snerdy Crew: Watch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) sit down with advertising veteran and author Mark Robinson to discuss his book Pitch Black: The Best Black Ads of the Past Fifty Plus Years. Robinson explains how he assembled a panel of Black creative directors, each assigned a specific decade, to select the ads that shaped the book rather than choosing them himself. The conversation traces a three-decade evolution in Black consumer advertising, from 1950s ad-buy inclusion that funded publications like Ebony and Jet, through 1960s representation demands, into the 1970s Black pride movement that gave rise to Black-owned agencies such as Procter and Gardner. Robinson also shares his hopes for the book's future, including an exhibit at the National Museum of African American History and Culture and a possible PBS documentary, and mentions that historian Henry Louis Gates has read and supported the project.The trivia round covers Pepsi-Cola's 1940 Negro Markets Department, the surprising role of Black-owned VJ Records in bringing the Beatles' music to America ahead of Capitol Records, Coca-Cola's "Hilltop" commercial and its songwriter Roquel "Billy" Davis, and the real woman behind Aunt Jemima, Nancy Green. That trivia leads into a broader discussion of how platforms like Disney Plus handle older, racially outdated content such as Song of the South and Aristocats. They also run a Star Trek-themed matchup covering Benjamin Sisko, Michael Burnham, Nyota Uhura, Guinan, Geordi La Forge, B'Elanna Torres, Worf, and Tuvok, weighing each character's place in the franchise's history of representation. The episode closes with a candid Big Mad segment touching on ICE and immigration coverage, before Robinson points people toward his book and his website, markrobinson-writing.com.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠⁠⁠

**Clip description:** The Clancy jury is in full mutiny. The women are shocked — shocked — that one male juror refused to rubber-stamp not guilty by reason of insanity after Lindsay Clancy killed her three kids. They called him arrogant. Said he ignored the nurses on the jury and the toxicology. He watched the interview, admitted he had reasonable doubt, then still wouldn't play along. Clay's take: momentary lapse of sanity isn't a get-out-of-prison card. Serial killers were insane too. She's in a wheelchair and looks fine now. An asylum would've let her walk in a few years. One guy stood up and said no. That's the story.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Dominic Jordon, founder of Slevin Studio, for a bonus episode of Black and Snerdy. Jordon traces his path from an early clothing brand and freelance photo and video gigs into founding Slevin Studio, drawing a comparison to the HBO series How to Make It in America along the way. He points to his manga-style photo book, Tei Travels Volume One: Tokyo, Japan, styled after the visual work behind Your Name and Weathering With You, as the project he is most proud of, and offers advice to aspiring Black creatives about building community through Facebook and Discord groups. The conversation turns to anime-inspired tattoos, with Jordon explaining a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood piece pulled from a Roy Mustang scene and naming A Silent Voice as a story about forgiveness that shaped his outlook, while Mo shows off a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure tattoo of his own.The Watch Out Now segment breaks down the first three episodes of the English dub of Ghost Stories, tracing how the anime flopped in Japan before American voice actors were given free rein to rewrite it, with comparisons made to Dragon Ball Z Abridged, Bleach Abridged, and Bob's Burgers before Jordon, Ode, and Mo each score it out of five snerds. A One Piece trivia game called Emoji Me Senpai follows, running Jordon and Ode through emoji clues built around characters including Luffy, Nico Robin, Trafalgar Law, Shanks, Mihawk, Big Mom, and Orochi. The Big Mad segment covers the industry's move away from physical media following the Funimation and Crunchyroll merger, ongoing MTA service disruptions, and concerns about AI tools such as Claude replacing literacy and critical thinking in education and medicine. Making Us Happy closes things out with the Kingdom Hearts 4 release window, an SVU return that may include New York Knicks player Jalen Brunson by way of Mariska Hargitay, and a family conversation Mo describes as difficult but rewarding.Dominic Jordon (aka creative_teddy7) is the founder and creative lead of Slevin Studio, a media production company based in Ogden, Utah.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) sit down with author and world traveler Phil the Blerd Explorer to unpack his journey from a university job board ad to nine years teaching English in South Korea, and eventually a second career as a licensed ESL teacher in Atlanta, Georgia. Phil explains how teaching pay, employer-covered housing, and currency exchange rates worked while living abroad, describes the housing discrimination foreign and Black expats can run into in South Korea, and details getting his Washington, D.C. and Georgia teaching licenses within days of each other. The conversation also covers his Black Travel Guide Series, upcoming travel plans across Namibia, Kenya, South Africa, and Botswana, and his advice for staying safe while traveling in countries dealing with visible poverty.Phil then joins the Anime or AniNay game, guessing alongside Ode whether Mo's anime synopses are real or invented, with titles including One Piece, Berserk, Code Geass, Food Wars, Violet Evergarden, Kill la Kill, and Steins;Gate all coming up in play. Big Mad covers Phil's missing teacher badge, Ode's long-running frustration with never learning to drive paired with a breakdown of MARTA and transit expansion in Atlanta, and Mo's criticism of social media platforms failing to flag graphic content for users. Making Us Happy closes the episode with Phil's excitement for Dragon Con and an Atlanta book festival, Ode celebrating friends' pregnancies, and Mo sharing a correctly guessed gender reveal.Phil the Blerd Explorer can be found on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_blerd_e...and TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@theblerdexplo...IndieGoGo: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects...Connect with the Snerdy Crew:Watch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Davies and Tiffany of the Anime Nokori podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on Black and Snerdy. Tiffany opens up about how Fruits Basket helped her rebuild her sense of self after ending an engagement she entered right out of high school, while Davies credits Princess Mononoke with expanding his imagination beyond Western fantasy storytelling. The four also trace their earliest anime memories back to Kiki's Delivery Service, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, and the original Dragon Ball, before Tiffany and Davies offer newcomer recommendations including Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Samurai Champloo.The group then runs through two original games built around anime trivia, correctly identifying characters like Naruto, Goku, Deku, Shinji Ikari, and Edward Elric, along with real-versus-invented plot summaries for shows including Bleach, Sword Art Online, Devilman Crybaby, and Ergo Proxy. During the Big Mad segment, Tiffany describes having her laptop and hard drive stolen at DreamCon, while Davies and Ode dig into Sony's move to gatekeep Crunchyroll's physical media behind paid tiers and the broader frustration of streaming platforms splitting shows across services.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome comedian and podcaster Kendrick Tucker, host of I Kennot with Kendrick Tucker, for a bonus episode built around reality TV debate and career advice. Kendrick traces his path from watching Unsolved Mysteries as a kid to launching his own podcast during COVID, and discusses topics from Real Housewives reunions to X-Men '96 on his own show. He explains why he'd only do a low-effort competition show like Big Brother or The Traitors, and weighs in on The Circle's move from Netflix to Hulu and its new Hunger Games-style voting mechanics. The three also debate the merits of networking horizontally versus chasing viral moments, building on a quote from Issa Rae.The episode's centerpiece is a five-round This or That built around iconic Black reality stars, pitting NeNe Leakes against Kenya Moore, Karen Huger against Gizelle Bryant, Jocelyn Hernandez against Cardi B, Stevie J against Benzino, and RuPaul against Bob the Drag Queen, with debate touching on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Real Housewives of Potomac, Love & Hip Hop, and RuPaul's Drag Race. Big Mad turns toward a July jobs report showing 23,000 lost jobs and the difficulty of being hired without prior expert-level experience, while Making Us Happy covers Kendrick's nonstop eating with visiting coworkers in Memphis and closes with direct advice from Kendrick to both hosts about relocation and trusting one's instincts in friendships.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo aka Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) sit down with Coach Toci, founder of Mompreneur Academy, for a conversation on entrepreneurship, branding, and mental health. Coach Toci traces her hustle back to selling CDs and candy as a child, then walks through her path into motherhood in 2021, a home birth experience, and the realities of Black maternal and infant mortality that shaped a decision to build a business centered on staying home with her children. Coach Toci unpacks the message behind stop being the best kept secret, arguing that most entrepreneurs struggle not from a lack of talent but from a lack of visibility, and points to Susan Jeffers' book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway as a resource for pushing past hesitation. The conversation moves into pricing psychology, covering why women and mothers routinely undercharge for their work, and cites business coach Lamar Tyler of Traffic Sales and Profit on the importance of tracking real sales numbers rather than relying on instinct.Coach Toci then turns her attention to Black and Snerdy itself, running a live audit of the podcast's presence across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon, iHeart, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X, flagging hashtag strategy, an inactive-looking X profile, missing YouTube live content, and the case for building an owned email list instead of relying on any single platform. A mental health check-in follows, where Mo discloses living with bipolar disorder while currently unmedicated and Coach Toci discusses navigating a divorce alongside the value of therapy during major life transitions. Big Mad brings frustrations over recurring Apple account charges, rising inflation, and a wave of AI-generated YouTube channels producing fake WWE wrestling news and scraped commentary on shows like The Wire and The Sopranos, including AI-generated music using the likeness of artists such as Timberland. The episode closes on a lighter note with an update on food creator Cabinet Carl.join.mompreneuracademy.biz Instagram: @mompreneuracademyofficial Facebook @mompreneuracademyofficial Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠⁠⁠

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray of Queue Points podcast for a bonus crossover centered on Netflix's The Greatest Night in Pop. The conversation traces the recording of We Are the World, covering the roles played by Harry Belafonte, Ken Kragen, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and Quincy Jones in assembling the session, along with standout moments involving Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, and Al Jarreau. The group also discusses points of frustration with the documentary, including Prince's absence, the treatment of Sheila E., and Patti LaBelle missing the recording the year before her own breakout. Before the review, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray walk through the origins of Queue Points tracing the show's start back to the Salt-N-Pepa Lifetime biopic and the public dispute involving Spinderella. A Time Capsule segment rounds out the front half, with selections including Valentino's 1975 recording of I Was Born This Way, Earth Wind and Fire, A Tribe Called Quest's Stressed Out, and the full catalog of Destiny's Child.The back half of the episode moves into a hypothetical modern version of the recording, with the group debating a 2026 lineup that includes Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, The Weeknd, and Questlove. Big Mad turns to the impact of the Canadian wildfires on air quality, commentary on Dame Dash carried over from a previous live show, and frustration with anime fans who argue that shows like One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood contain no political themes. Small Joys closes things out with DJ Sir Daniel's vinyl copy of Black Milk's Ceremonial, upcoming DJ sets at Stereo Atlanta and JB's Record Lounge, and Ode's read of Jessica Cage's Accidents Happen series.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome comic book creator Gerald Goodwin Jr into the Snurdyverse for a bonus episode built around his series Kairu, Slayer of Kaiju. Gerald walks through the premise of a twelve year old granted a symbiotic alien suit that reacts to his emotional state, and traces the idea back to influences including Neon Genesis Evangelion, Blue Beetle, and the classic Stan Lee era of Spider-Man. The conversation moves into his lifelong Godzilla fandom, touching on the Monsterverse films, Godzilla Minus One, the original 1954 Gojira, and Godzilla vs Mothra, along with the atomic bomb metaphor built into the earliest kaiju films. Gerald also breaks down why the kaiju villains in his own comic represent real struggles like anxiety, self doubt, and guilt.Anime comes up as well, with Gerald crediting Toonami for shaping his early taste and naming My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Ball among his favorites. Gerald shows rough storyboard art from the upcoming issue six of Kairu for the first time in any interview, revealing a new character they nickname Mr. Steel Yubbage. The episode closes with the recurring mental health check in, a Big Mad segment covering topics like the reception of the Supergirl film and Hollywood's pattern of misreading what made Barbie successful, and a Happy segment where Pop-Tarts and Ratatouille both make an appearance.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: ⁠⁠https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy⁠⁠
