This week I talk to Abbe Blacker, the founder and owner of the Minneapolis Mah Jongg Club in Edina.

Scheana's back with Kiki Monique and Krystina Arielle—and what starts as a casual catch-up (weekend trips, kid birthday parties) quickly evolves into a layered, unfiltered conversation sparked by Ciara Miller's recent Glamour interview. It's not just about Summer House or the current drama—it's about how people move through the world, and how differently that experience can look depending on who you are (and how you're perceived). From the meaning behind “the older you get, the Blacker you get,” to the frustration of being labeled “scary” for simply setting boundaries, Kiki and Krystina share personal stories that challenge perception vs. reality in a way that's honest, nuanced, and long overdue. They also dive into interracial dating, friendship breakups, betrayal, and why women so often carry the blame when relationships fall apart—and what it really takes to walk away when something no longer feels right. Of course, they get into the latest Summer House chatter too, including West & Amanda rumors, timeline speculation, and whether a relationship like this can actually survive in the public eye. Plus, they end on a headline that raises eyebrows: a 12-year engagement that never made it to the altar. Why do long engagements stall out—and at what point do you call it? Some takes might surprise you.

Hello everyone and a happy Easter to you all. This months mix is a bit of a special one. Its our 10th anniversary this month, yes its hard to believe that a little show that started off just an hour on a Sunday afternoon grew into one of Protons most popular and then took up John Digweeds old slot on a Friday night and has featured some of the best DJ's and producers on the planet as well as some of the hottest upcoming talents. Since the beginning our aim has always been the same, to bring you some of the very best music around and i like to think we have achieved that. But for this months show we wanted to do something special for this momentous occasion and we have managed to bring back the one and only Richie Blacker! When we featured Richie way back in 2020 he was one of the hottest talents who was just blowing up but since then he has gone on to be regularly featured on radio 1 as well as DJing all around the world. We have been trying to get him back on for a while but he is a very busy man, thankfully, the stars aligned and we were able to get this fantastic mix for your musical enjoyment. I would like to thank Richie for providing us this fantastic mix and dont forget to check out his new release The love Asylum EP which is out now on Last night on earth. I would also like to thank you all for listening in to the show, whether its live on proton or on itunes or Soundcloud, you are the reason we are still going and of course, thanks to all the DJ's and artists we have featured over the years. We have loads planned for the coming months so keep your ears open for more Acoustic pleasure

Join Here:⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Segment of Notorious Mass Effect dives deep into Jack Harlow's bold fourth studio album, Monica, released on March 13, 2026—coinciding with his 28th birthday. Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this breakdown explores Harlow's dramatic pivot from pop-rap hits like "What's Poppin," "First Class," and "Lovin on Me" to a no-rap, fully sung project rooted in R&B, neo-soul, soul, and jazz influences.Recorded at the iconic Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the 9-track, 28-minute album features live instrumentation, jazzy guitars, horn sections, organ, and soulful grooves. Heavy inspiration from D'Angelo's Voodoo shines through, with collaborators including Ravyn Lenae, Omar Apollo, Mustafa, and Robert Glasper adding prestige and bridging Harlow to alternative R&B and jazz audiences.Analytic Dreamz examines the album's reception—Variety praises its warm, soulful upgrade, Clash calls it an unexpected delight tied to the Soulquarian movement, and Okayplayer highlights vulnerability—while noting polarizing views from critics questioning the niche shift from hip-hop roots.With over 11 billion career streams fueling momentum, Monica employs smart strategies: no lead single, birthday drop for engagement, short runtime for repeats, limited-edition vinyl via direct-to-consumer, clean lyrics for broader playlists, and a focus on expanding into neo-soul/R&B lanes amid risks of alienating core fans.Analytic Dreamz unpacks sales projections (5K–10K pure units expected, potential Top 10 Billboard 200 debut via streaming), market facts, and how this evolution fits larger 2025-2026 hip-hop trends.Tune in for an in-depth, no-hype analysis of Jack Harlow's reinvention on Monica. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rohan Blacker is a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of Sofa.com. Blacker shares his journey with host Dougal Shaw, from an unfulfilling legal career to becoming a pioneer in UK e-commerce. He left Sofa.com in 2015 when a private equity firm took over. Today he's still very much in furniture retail, running Pooky.com and Schplendid sofas. Blacker tells the story behind acquiring the Sofa.com domain name, explaining why he and his co-founder felt a "nuts name" was essential for success, in the brave new world of online branding. Blacker also explains why he thinks Sofa.com declined after his exit, citing "death by a thousand cuts", including excessive discounting and high rent overheads. He explains how he is now using the lessons learned from his Sofa.com days to power his latest venture, Schplendid, which aims to champion sustainable sofas in a world of "fast furniture".

Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Blacker, a successful New York City real estate broker who runs a top-producing, all-women's team focusing on luxury real estate. Rebecca shares the compelling story of her career, which began in her family's real estate business. Her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, originally founded the company, making real estate a lifelong presence for Rebecca. However, after the birth of her second child, she felt an overwhelming desire for independence—a need to build something her own rather than managing her father's and grandfather's legacy. This bold move was driven by her ambition to be an entrepreneur and a role model for her kids. Although her transition was initially difficult for her family, they are now incredibly supportive of the successful business she has created. Rebecca details the modern, authentic approach she took to launch her solo career, which began with no listings or content. She purposefully created video content on social media, investing in a studio to overcome the initial fear of being on camera. She used this platform to share her life as a mom and a business starter, building a trustworthy brand that allows clients to feel like they know her before they even meet. This strategy successfully led to clients and the eventual expansion into her current five-member, all-women's team. Rebecca now finds immense joy in the mentorship aspect of leadership, loving the collaboration and support the team provides, and celebrating her members' successes even more than her own. She defines an empowered woman as someone who is fearless, sets goals, and pursues them without worrying about the opinions of others.
