Finally a book that's a appropriate length and has a clear storyline! This 48 page book was a refreshing but still messy read. The wavy god himself, Devin Middleton and my producer Matt Bright are back to spill all their thoughts on this one. Press play already!
After the persistence of our cohost Devin Middleton and comedian De De T we ventured into part two of he played me by Ms. L.B. Join the crew as we try to make sense of this 88 pages sequel based on a true story. Oh and how we mentioned that she's turning this into a movie?! Oh we are getting into it all! So pull up and let's take a journey.
This month we are back on our bullshit with a book based on true story! He Played Me by Ms. L.B is the dark story of how passion, jealousy, hate, and betrayal can lead to your ultimate demise! Join comedians De De T, Devin Middleton, and your host Rachel Hall as we discuss everything from sexual positions, what we look for in a partner, and how the elements of jealousy, hate, and betrayal lead us to question. "what was this book about again?" It's always a good time at the HNBC so pour a glass of wine or roll yourself a blunt, press play and LET'S GET INTO IT!

Devin Middleton engages in a socially-distanced interview about his opening set during KJ Whitehead's 'The Haggard Unicorn' album recording in January 2020. Devin summarizes the first nine films in the Star Wars franchise in about nine minutes through a socially-conscious lens. He uses this framework as a way to critique the franchise's white-washing of the pop-culture science fiction landscape, as well as it's clumsy handling of the topic of slavery. Devin is a musician who releases albums under the stage name Debonair Status. His most recent release, 'Black Genderfluid Depression Jamz, Vol. 563' is available now.
