They envision a future where everyone can achieve stability, dignity, and opportunity.

In this high-energy and deeply personal episode, Mimi and Wonne return to navigate a week marked by both grief and humor. The duo kicks off with a lighthearted debate over thin-crust pizza and the nostalgia of birthday freebies before shifting to a somber tribute to Mimi's late aunt, a famously "pro-black" figure who passed away on MLK Day.The conversation takes several sharp turns, covering everything from the absurdity of AI-generated Rampage Jackson videos to a viral PSA from a local figure about the "dirty" reality of dating unprotected in Milwaukee. Between discussions on "grief sex" , the YMCA's lyrical subtext, and the struggle of hosting a website on GoDaddy, the hosts deliver their signature blend of raw honesty and "demon time" wit.Chapter Timestamps00:00 – Technical Difficulties & The Return of Mimi's Wig 12:15 – Pizza Debates: Rocky's vs. Thin Crust "Crackers" 24:40 – Somber News: Losing a Pro-Black Icon on MLK Day 45:10 – The "Outback" Betrayal: When "Taking Someone Out" Goes Dutch 1:02:30 – Unpacking the YMCA: Hidden Meanings and Gay Club Codes 1:20:15 – GoDaddy vs. The Sibius Vibes: Moving the Business Forward 1:35:45 – AI Rampage Jackson & The "Niggler" Controversy 1:52:10 – Public Service Announcement: The "Burnt" Reality of Milwaukee 2:05:00 – Demon Time: Closing Out with Final Thoughts To get more of the Hoecially Awkward experience, join our Facebook group to engage with other fans and get exclusive content.

A single mixtape can hold a whole city. We sit down with Lia to unpack why Acid Rap still feels like Chicago's heartbeat—joyful, messy, vulnerable, and alive. From the juke-charged Intro to the windows-down freedom of Juice and the tender confession of Cocoa Butter Kisses, we trace how Chance captured a moment that outgrew the moment. It's not just nostalgia; it's a map of youth, where the block protects the artist, the hook carries the crowd, and the laughter in the ad-libs feels like friends in the room.We go deep on the context too. Early drill was rising, and Chance offered a parallel lens—same city, different angle—naming what it's like to be close to danger without performing it. Paranoia becomes the hinge, the summer song that says the quiet part out loud: loving warm weather while bracing for phone calls nobody wants. Lia shares a personal story of loss that changed how the record sounded over time, and we talk about how music can make space for grief without losing its joy. That tension—party and prayer, bounce and burden—is what gives the project its staying power.We also wrestle with evolution. Did sobriety temper the risk-taking that made Acid Rap electric, or did it open a new kind of honesty? Art-as-diary means the page reflects the day, and we explore how fans can honor an artist's growth without demanding a loop of the past. Along the way, we compare authentic Chicago texture with media that misses the mark, and we make a case for soul in the age of AI: you can model a cadence, but you can't automate stakes. If you've ever danced in the living room or felt a drumline pull strangers into family, you'll hear why this mixtape still matters.Press play, then tell us the line or track that never left you.

We back for 2026! We're talking our 2026 anticipations, the Stranger Things finale & the actors moving onto the MCU. Avengers Doomsday and more!

What if better sex has nothing to do with lasting longer, stacking positions, or chasing the perfect orgasm—and everything to do with presence? We sit down with tantric coach Emma Galland for a candid, eye‑opening conversation about turning intimacy into a grounded practice that starts with the self. Emma shares how slowing down, breathing, and setting a clear intention can transform connection, whether you're solo or partnered, new lovers or long‑time. This is sex as meditation, not performance.We get specific. Emma breaks down why men often ask for sex as a way to feel loved and respected, and how partners can create a safe container where edgy truths are welcomed instead of shamed. She explains the “couple bubble,” an agreement to listen without judgment, and shows how consent becomes deeply erotic when you ask the body—not just the mind—for a yes. We unpack the pressure around orgasms, the time mismatch most couples face, and why each person is responsible for their own arousal. Non‑ejaculatory orgasms, presence over performance, and practical breathwork make the theory usable tonight.The conversation expands into body image, naked yoga, and radical self‑acceptance. Emma highlights how dropping the performance mask—on the beach or in the bedroom—dissolves shame and unlocks more sensation. We also call out social media's role in selling the image of sex while hiding the actual skills of intimacy. If you're curious about tantra, consent, holding space, or simply want to feel more connected and confident, this episode offers a clear, human path forward with real‑world examples and tools you can try.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

On this episode, Donna and Orlando reflect on their evolution since starting the podcast in 2019 as Orlando bids farewell to Authentically Detroit. Together they look at how time sharpens politics and encourage Detroiters to keep showing up and building power where it matters.They also sat down with the Co-Founder and Executive Director of 482Forward to discuss how their work helps Detroiters to become fully engaged participants in efforts to change Detroit for the better. 482Forward grew out of trial by fire. Many of the founding organizations had previous relationships and shared work in Detroit, but came together for a special purpose– to create the 482Forward network. Molly Sweeney and Jamila Martin, founding co-directors, convened a roundtable of community-based partners at Excellent Schools Detroit who were interested in engaging in education organizing in their neighborhoods.Together, they are creating a Detroit where every student graduates ready to become a fully engaged participant in the world, equipped with the character and the capacity to negotiate her environment and change it for the better.Sign up to gather signatures and join Love Beats Greed actions here. FOR HOT TAKES:JAMES TATE SELECTED AS DETROIT COUNCIL PRESIDENT Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Shoot Me A Quick Text & Introduce YourselfMost people don't fail because they set the wrong goals, they fail because their life can't support the goals they keep setting. In this episode, we break down what your “ceiling” really is: the highest level of results you can sustain with your current standards. Then we get practical about how to raise it.You'll learn how to spot the ceiling behaviors keeping you stuck (even when you're trying), how to identify the real bottleneck that's limiting your growth, and how to build the version of you that can actually hold your next level through higher execution standards, skill capacity, weekly output tracking, mental discipline, and an environment designed for focus.If you've been starting over every year, this is your reset: not more motivation—better structure, stronger standards, and real compliance.Ready to break old patterns, build new habits, and step into the life you know you're meant for?

The mic opens on a check-in and turns into a masterclass on presence. Che' Afrique—singer, songwriter, and teacher—joins us to talk about becoming a better mother, paying attention to kids in a loud world, and why “being there” beats any illusion of balance. We dig into the moments parents miss, the power of boundaries, and how structure saves more futures than speeches ever will.From Boston classrooms to Chicago memories, Shea breaks down how education and edge shaped her voice. She takes us back to her first performances, the shaky hands that came with stage fright, and the mindset shift that turned critique into confidence. Then we get into the heart of craft: creativity, authorship, and the debate around ghostwriters. Che take is bold—give the pen its flowers, not just the face on the cover. Credit the creators, expand who gets seen, and let authenticity lead the sound.The standout story lands with “Not The One,” a heartbreak track born on New Year's Day, written through tears and recorded as a freestyle. That song became proof that vulnerability travels: men and women heard their own lives in it. We talk fame versus privacy, choosing fortune over endless cameras, and how artists can share truth without selling their peace. Along the way, we call out book bans, defend critical thinking, and map how to teach kids to question with respect. We close with property goals, an EP on deck, and a simple vow: keep pushing Black love—patient, purposeful, and present.Hit play, share with a friend, and tell us what you're working on internally.

Ever notice how the best artists don't just make noise—they guard their peace? We bring Teddy into the booth to talk about what it takes to create with intention when the world keeps pulling your focus. He unpacks the shift from reacting to responding, and why that one choice protects your energy, sharpens your decisions, and lets your music breathe.Teddy's path reads like a mixtape: born in Germany, raised across military bases, soaking up cultures from Kansas to Alaska to California before dropping anchor in Chicago. That movement shaped an ear that loves variety—family record crates, a grandmother who DJ'd in Chicago, and early moments of discovery that made hip-hop feel both personal and global. We dive into how context unlocks sound, why cadence matters as much as content, and how local scenes forge identity before the world catches on.We trace the grind from ciphers and hallway battles to a makeshift studio powered by a tape deck, PS2, and MTV Music Generator—then into Magix, Ableton, and Maschine. Along the way, we compare California and Chicago show ecosystems, the role of open mics in building an artist's voice, and the pride a city takes when its sound travels. We also face the industry head-on: streaming's reach vs. revenue, the early pioneers who took the heat for brand-building, and whether AI can polish a track yet still miss the human connection that turns songs into moments. We close with life lessons that carry into the studio: a healthy relationship as a place of growth, safety, and accountability—and a few laughs about love, loyalty, and even impossible deodorant.Pull up for craft, perspective, and a warm invite to Kitty's Cocktail Lounge Sunday Service in Blue Island.

On this episode Donna and Orlando sat down with Sidewalk Detroit Program Director, Augusta Morrison and Earth Futures Fellow, Billy Mark to discuss the Echoes Soundmaps project and how they're advancing public life through the lens of arts, culture, collaborative design and deep engagement with residents. Sidewalk Detroit exists to advance public life and strong social infrastructure through the lens of arts, culture, collaborative design and deep engagement with residents. They practice an inclusive approach to creative city and neighborhood building that combines vision of residents, strategy, and artistic ideation to create engaging spaces, programs and experiences that improve communities across metro-detroit.Echoes Soundmaps are created by placing audio files (voices, rhythms, poems, field recordings) onto specific zones on a digital map, like putting a pin on a google map, and then attaching/ uploading an audio file. Each zone can have its own shape, size, and behavior. These zones become invisible layers of sound over real places. When someone walks through the space with the echoes app, their phone's gps triggers the audio in the zones they enter as they do the sound plays.To learn more about Sidewalk Detroit, click here. FOR HOT TAKES:MICHIGAN OFFICIALS INSIST 2019 AUTO NO-FAULT LAW LOWERED CAR INSURANCE RATES.
