Amy welcomes in Angela Quintana for a “McBee day,” share quick Bravo news about Boz's traditional Ghanaian wedding and Danielle from Summer House bringing her premature baby boy home after 63 days in the NICU, then discuss perimenopause struggles and a neck fan that helps with hot flashes. They also follow the Lindsey Clancy trial, hoping for a not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict and advocating for postpartum psychosis to be recognized in the DSM. The episode's main focus is a recap of the McBee Dynasty season finale: the brothers' plan to sell the car washes to cover massive debt, tensions with CFO Galyna, and skepticism about a staged-looking truck-window smashing scene. They later look up updates suggesting the car washes weren't sold and Cole didn't lose his house, questioning how real the show's cliffhanger was.This episode is sponsored by:OAK ESSENTIALS Luminous Body Lotionhttps://oakessentials.comBUBS NATURALS COLLAGEN AND PEPTIDESLive Better Longer with BUBS Naturals.

WHY TALENTED GHANAIAN CREATORS STAY INVISIBLE AND UNDERPAID | LOIS DOGBE✋
As the investigation deepens, she crosses paths with a man who represents everything she's been taught to question. The son of a powerful Ghanaian billionaire, he moves effortlessly through elite circles shaped by wealth, influence, and legacy – including a storied estate modeled after one of America's most iconic homes, now transformed by global power and quiet ambition. He has his own loyalties. His own secrets. And getting close to him may be the only way to uncover the truth. Drawn together by chemistry neither can ignore, the pair find themselves caught between duty and desire – between what they owe their families and what they want for themselves. But in a world where history is contested, identities are layered, and power rewrites narratives, one question remains: Who can you trust? Because the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. And falling in love might be the riskiest move of all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
Sedina Tamakloe Acquittal: The court has spoken. If you disagree with the ruling, appeal it—not attack the judiciary. Sedina is a Ghanaian and deserves the same justice as every other citizen. The NPP cannot fault every court decision simply because it does not go in its favor. - Nana Yaa Jantuah

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!We got married in our thirties. Started IVF in the middle of paying off $700,000 in student loan debt. And Nii was working locums shifts several states away — the very thing funding our fertility journey was also making it harder.This is the episode we've never been able to fully tell. Until now.You'll hear:→ Why we got married later — and what that cost us biologically → The rule we made when paying off debt (and how it complicated everything) → IVF at $25,000 per round with no insurance coverage in Pennsylvania → How locums income was our financial lifeline — and our biggest complication → The appointments Renee attended alone while Nii was on the road → What the IVF doctor said when Renee ovulated through her medications (and where Nii was) → Multiple rounds. None of them worked. → How our boys came naturally — and the joke we make about their 529s → 3 practical tips for physician couples navigating debt and fertility simultaneouslyTEXT US: Have you ever had to choose between your financial goals and starting your family? Tell us your story. 1-833-230-2860 We read every message.3 PRACTICAL TIPS FROM THIS EPISODE:1. Know your state's IVF insurance laws before you choose where to live or work. Some states mandate insurance coverage for IVF (NJ, NY, MA, IL, and others). Pennsylvania did not cover us at the time. This is a factor worth researching — especially if you're in your thirties or planning to start a family.2. Have the fertility conversation with your partner before you need it. Don't wait until you're in the middle of debt payoff to find out you need IVF. Talk to a reproductive specialist early. Get your baseline numbers. If you're a woman in medicine who wants children — consider freezing your eggs earlier rather than later.3. Build your financial plan around your whole life — not just your debt. Your financial plan needs to account for more than the numbers. Build in the fertility timeline. Build in the family goals. Build in the geographic constraints. And if locums is part of your debt payoff plan — decide how far is too far before you take the assignments. Not after.Find us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@docsoutsidetheboxpodcastRESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Locumstory.

For 185 years, some of the most important chapters of American history have unfolded on a few blocks of Buffalo's East Side. In the third episode of our four-part Unpacked by Afar series, we walk the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor, the beating heart of Buffalo Black history, with the man who has made preserving it his life's work. Executive director Terry Alford grew up on these streets and is now leading their revival. He guides host Aislyn Greene through 185 years of Buffalo Black history: a church that was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad, the home where the Niagara Movement was born, the club where jazz greats jammed until dawn because they weren't allowed to sleep in the hotels they had just played, and the radio station that became the megaphone of the Civil Rights movement. Then he shares how urban renewal nearly erased it all, and how he is fighting to bring it back, guided by the Ghanaian principle of Sankofa: move forward, but never forget where you came from. This is cultural travel at its most moving, a piece of American travel culture far too few people know. It is also one of the most powerful travel stories we have told, and a lesson in responsible travel: how to visit a place and honor the people whose stories made it. If Buffalo Black history is not yet on your list of American travel destinations, this episode, and this corridor, will change that. Meet this week's guest Terry Alford, executive director of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission Chapters 00:00 Buffalo's Black History 04:19 Underground Railroad to Jazz 10:02 Loss and Revival 13:42 A Vision for 2030 Where to go to explore Buffalo's Black history Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor — Start at the visitor center and tour the anchor sites, all just steps apart.

After watching England's draw with Ghana at a local bar in West Hollywood, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to look at what England needed to break down an organised defence.There's praise for Rio's former assistant manager at Manchester United, Carlos Queiroz, who led the Ghanaian side and Rio reveals his former team mates were reminded of Queiroz's coaching sessions during his time at Old Trafford.And after Cristiano Ronaldo's 2 goals - Rio also has a bone to pick with both of his co-hosts who seemingly wrote off the prospect of Ronaldo performing and leading Portugal to the latter stages of the tournament.The trio debate whether it's time for Thomas Tuchel to start Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford who both made positive impacts off the bench for the second match in a row and Ste details why England's tactics were frustating to watch.Brought to you in partnership with Airbnb.

PCOS affects an estimated 170 million women worldwide during their reproductive years yet as many as 70% of those affected remain undiagnosed, according the World Health Organization. Experts hope that will change following the condition's recent renaming to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), a term they say better reflects its impact on the whole body, not just the ovaries. So what is it like to live with the condition?We spoke to 35-year-old Bianca Chenai from Zimbabwe, and 25-year-old Ghanaian, Juliana Naa Dede who have been living with PMOS from a young age.

Nigerian cuisine is one of the most layered, complex food cultures in the world — and most of us are only scratching the surface. Today I'm sitting down with Ronke Shikirat-Edoho, founder of 9jafoodie, to start changing that.In Part 1, we get into the building blocks of Nigerian food: palm oil and why it has been a cornerstone of West African cooking for generations, the slow-stewed pepper base that shows up across dish after dish, and a deep culture of fermentation that shapes everything from the main carbohydrates to the condiments. We break down jollof rice — what actually makes the Nigerian version distinct from Ghanaian or Senegambian jollof, and why Ronke draws a firm line between traditional jollof and what she calls "internet jollof." We also get into egusi, a melon seed that gets turned into soup while the melon itself goes completely uneaten, and a whole world of leafy greens that have been central to West African cooking for generations but that most people outside the region have never heard of.Part 2 drops in two weeks — Ronke gets into the palm oil controversy, Nigerian street food, and the misinformation about African food she's spent nearly 20 years correcting. Don't miss it.
When Frederick Douglass left Belfast in 1845, only seven years after escaping slavery, he declared: "Wherever else I feel myself to be a stranger, I will remember I have a home in Belfast." That remarkable statement from a Black abolitionist finding radical welcome in a 19th-century Irish city is the beating heart of North Star, the immersive musical and theatrical experience that Northern Ireland-based DJ, broadcaster, and creative producer Kwame Daniels brings to New York's Irish Arts Center, June 3–21.Irish Stew cohosts Martin Nutty and John Lee met Kwame at the Irish Arts Center a few days before opening night and recorded this episode in the IAC LibraryHe relates that his journey to Belfast began in a Ghanaian household in East London, where identity was worn proudly inside the home and navigated carefully beyond it. "As soon as we entered the house again, it was absolutely back to the background, the roots, and the culture," he recalls. "But outside, there was almost a code-switch going on. We were firm in our identity, and yet we were also aware of our surroundings and how we had to move within them." That same fluency served him when he arrived in Derry in 1997 and found a city divided along lines he didn't yet understand. Music became his passport across the sectarian divide. "I was bringing in sets of decks (the equipment DJs use to play, control, and manipulate music). That's the conversation, all the other conversations come out of that."Kwame relates that Douglass's Belfast story with his evocation of finding a home in the city hit him with the force of revelation. "A Black man, an enslaved man on the run in 1845 and that's his response to being in Belfast. That has to be the starting point for us to reset."The result is a 77-minute production, one minute for every year of Douglass's life, an immersive experience fusing hip-hop, jazz, gospel, classical, and electronic music with spoken word, choral arrangements, and the honest voices of young people from both Belfast and New York. "You're going to be presented with a level of musicianship that is extraordinary, and it's unlike anything you've ever seen."North Star runs June 3–21 at the Irish Arts Center, tickets at irishartscenter.org.Next up from Irish Stew, Fresh Stew LIVE with Terry Golway on his new thriller Terror From America: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, recorded before sold out audience in the Malachy McCourt Room at Ernie O'Malley's Pub in NYC with the fiddler Eileen McLain and actor Mick Mellamphy enhancing the experience.LINKSNORTH STARIrish Arts Center info and ticketsInstagramKWAME DANIELSInstagramFacebookLinkedInORGANIZATIONSBounce CultureSolabIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 18; Total Episode Count: 159Send us Fan Mail
On this day, 31 May 1989, CLR James, Trinidadian Marxist and author of The Black Jacobins, the definitive history of the Haitian Revolution, as well as other texts on class, colonialism and cricket, died aged 88 in Brixton, London. As a young man he joined the movement against British colonialism, and later moved to England and became cricket correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, forerunner to the Guardian newspaper.He lived in the US for a time, where alongside Raya Dunayevskaya and Grace Lee Boggs (pictured L-R), he formed the influential Johnson-Forest Tendency. Returning to Britain, he continued to write fiction and non-fiction, including a history of the Ghanaian revolution, until his death at home.We have some of his works available here: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/all/c-l-r-jamesOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

When Shaun Ossei-Owusu looked around at his classmates at UC Berkeley School of Law, there were many upper middle class children of lawyers who were coming straight from their undergraduate degrees. There were not many people like him, a child of Ghanaian immigrants who grew up in an impoverished South Bronx community and was now finishing his PhD as a returning student. That background and his academic training gave him a different perspective on the law school curriculum. For example, his Property Law class was mostly focused on the ins and outs of titles and transfers. "It was strange to me, particularly being going to school at Berkeley, how little the class said about homelessness," Ossei-Owusu tells host Lee Rawles in this episode of the Modern Law Library. "We have about 750,000 people in this country who are unhoused in any given night. And this is the course, Property Law, that's most directly concerned with how we organize access space and shelter. And the course doesn't say much about homelessness. And so I felt that that was strange, but I didn't want to be the student in class saying, 'Well, why aren't we talking about this?' " Ossei-Owusu went on to practice healthcare enforcement law at Sidley Austin, and worked for the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia. His time as a litigator and public interest lawyer gave him a look at how law school principles fared in real world situations. "Lawyers are implicated in many of the hot-button issues of the day, and much of that is tied to the ways that we train lawyers in law school to distance legal reasoning from social and moral consequences–and the ways they bring that habit into legal practice, whether it be BigLaw, public interest lawyering, or government lawyering," Ossei-Owusu says. It's something he now thinks deeply about as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School who focuses on criminal justice, social welfare and professional responsibility. In Law on Trial: An Unlikely Insider Reckons with Our Legal System, he calls out the ways this early training can result in further injustice and inequality for society. "Professional ethics say your job is to primarily serve clients, which creates an inevitable distance between what lawyers do and who pays the price," writes Ossei-Owusu in Law on Trial. "The result is a system that trains smart people to engineer brilliant solutions while staying disconnected from the human wreckage they may leave behind." In this episode of the podcast, Ossei-Owusu and Rawles talk about the hard truths of public interest legal work, how regulatory work can sometimes have more impact than litigation, and and how good intentions alone cannot erase harm.
