It's beautiful, brilliant, funny, gripping, mysterious, thrilling, thought-provoking, and meticulously crafted in every way. Hosted by Jason and Karen's innies. Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic, post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen. IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, with Pennywise stalking the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elm Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy. Check out other podcasts on our network at podcastica.com.  Thank you! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're jumping into John Stewart's past as we review Lanterns 1x03, “Outkast”!Was John Stewart programmed or raised? Did his parents train him to become a Green Lantern, or did they groom him for it? And how much damage did they do trying to make their son fearless? Also, is it a weakness that Hal Jordan is to blame for almost everything in John's life going wrong, or is it intentional on the part of the writers?There's so much to discuss!

It's a special origin episode for John Stewart, in which we learn all about why his dad was shooting apples off his head way back in Pilot. And the answer isn't what we expected! Sure, this one halts the momentum the series had built up with the main mystery plot but this flashback is exceptionally good, nuanced and full of incredible character work and acting. So we'll look past the interruption this time but TV shows need to quit doing this. Also: we go into a ton of Green Lantern lore, proving that most of the complaints folks online have about this one are because they've never read a comic book in their life (derogatory). Before that: the one thing that could get us interested in a Robocop TV show. Chris Hansen is running scared. James Gunn may have re-upped his DC contract. We give moviegoing advice. And so much more!

This week, Da7e and Neil are time-hopping through the origins of John Stewart and his complicated path toward Green Lantern candidacy.In The Calm [04:58], they assess the show's levels of wokeness. And with the help of numerous emails from listeners, they continue to theorize about the Lanterns rings and the "imperfect system" of choosing candidates.Then in The Storm [52:20], they attempt to predict how the rest of the season will be paced and whether there is a classic Damon Lindelof show narrative pivot right around the corner.Next week, Lanterns returns with a fourth episode that gets back to the conversation with Hal and Sinestro and maybe, just maybe, brings in some big action beats.To interact with the show, send your comments and questions to stormofspoilers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter/X and Bluesky @Da7eandNeil.You can also support Da7e and Neil and get all kinds of bonus content (from the Game of Thrones era to the LOST rewatch to our Twin Peaks rewatch project to our current Adventure Pod and Dark watch project) by subscribing to our Patreon here: patreon.com/Da7eandNeil

This episode took a serious look at John Stewart. And oh man does it give us a lot of needed context for John's character and the relationship between him and Hal.  This episode got us hyped for more.  Let's talk about it.Check out our other Podcasts!www.StrandedPanda.com

The crew kicks around the ridiculous cost of cable and streaming, why watching NFL games has become way too complicated, and whether putting a few bucks on nearly every team to win the Super Bowl is actually genius. Somehow the Miami Dolphins become a potential payday before the season even gets started. Then the conversation heads into hip-hop. The guys talk Tupac's murder, the case surrounding Duane “Keefe D” Davis, stories and lyrics connected to Tupac's death, Southern hip-hop, Scarface, Juvenile, Petey Pablo, Outkast, André 3000, Big Boi, and why some artists transcend the region they came from. That leads into Pras of the Fugees, his federal conviction, political money, lobbying, and the strange story behind how a member of one of hip-hop's biggest groups ended up facing serious prison time. And then things get properly rickety. Why are there so many mattress stores when nobody buys a mattress very often? How do they stay open? Is there something we're not being told? Before long, mattress stores become the center of an increasingly insane conspiracy theory involving money laundering, secret operations, Hollywood, Oprah, Stedman, blood, stem cells, and whatever else Mike can drag into it. The episode eventually wanders into Hayden Panettiere, Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin, Corey Feldman, child stars, Hollywood conspiracy theories, Antarctica, aliens, portals, wormholes, MH370, alternate dimensions, and the possibility that a missing airplane might someday simply reappear. No script. No plan. Just the rickety ship doing what it does.

We head out to the field of dreams, get expensive tickets to a game, and Aaron has a car dealer say "Please leave me alone."    Then we go over more of our favorite cereals and don't talk about nearly as many mining accidents as we did last week.    So put on your latex and meet us next week when we check out an underground album called Speakerboxxx/ Love Below by Outkast.

Growing up, Kiese Laymon thought of himself as a city kid. But he spent his childhood with a foot in two worlds: his mom's house in the capital city of Jackson, Mississippi and his grandma's house in a rural country town. It wasn't until Kiese left Mississippi that he came to understand that this question of city versus country actually meant a lot more. It carries a lot of baggage: the tensions between north and south, tectonic historical forces, and the contradictions of life in Mississippi. In this episode, originally published in 2025, our producer Justine Paradis sits down with writer Kiese Laymon for a conversation on this question of country versus city, what that has to do with the history of Black life in this country, and the story of Kiese's first children's picture book, his latest in a lifelong exploration of a complicated love of Mississippi.

Send in your music story!Somebody gets “killed off” by food poisoning, Florida delivers a hit and run story before breakfast, and then we do what we always do: turn the chaos into a music debate you can't stop listening to. While Chris is out, we run Round Two of our music bracket with the kind of honesty that makes brackets dangerous, because once you say a pick out loud you have to live with it.We dig into Ariana Grande's new album Petal and argue about what happens when production goes bold and psychedelic while the vocal choices stay safe. We talk about 70s coded pop, disco textures, and why an album can feel seamless yet still leave you unable to tell one song from another. We also touch on public scrutiny, celebrity image shifts, and why stepping back from appearances can feel like boundary setting or like a dramatic “end of an era” depending on who's listening.Then we jump back into pure bracket mode: hip hop matchups like Eminem vs Kendrick Lamar, Outkast vs Jay Z, and the moral and musical tension of ranking Kanye West's influence while refusing to endorse his behavior. Modern pop brings the heat with Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, and Harry Styles, and pop icons force the big questions about legacy with Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, and more. We cap it all with a country finale powered by one undeniable truth: Friends In Low Places is basically a communal ritual.Hit play, pick a side, and then subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review so more music nerds can jump into the bracket with us.Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

Hip hop group Basic Vocab's trajectory shifted rapidly when their signature track, "Come Get With It," was discovered by HBO and featured during the closing credits of Season 5 of Entourage. In doing so, they joined artists such as Saigon, Gang Starr, Alice Smith, Outkast, Radiohead, and Jay-Z, whose music was also featured during the series' end credits. The track appeared on their debut album, The General Dynamic, featuring JL Sorell, MG, and Square, with production from Tony Galvin, whose work with artists including T.I., Mystikal, and Trick Daddy brought a classically trained sensibility to the group's sound. They followed with A Better Way (2010), a more energy-oriented record infused with b-boy influences. The album included tracks such as "Prescription," "Tears," "Keep It Simple"—later featured on HBO's Crashing—and "Just Dance," which appeared in Hulu's Random Tropical Paradise. Their next releases, Type 3 (2022) and Straight Kemistry (2022), reflected on the post-pandemic landscape, exploring subjects including politics, social media, and healthcare. In 2025, the group released their latest single, "Sign of the Times," and they continue to collaborate together. In our conversation, featuring JL and Square, we discussed the South Beach "conscious rap" scene; the artists who influenced them and those to whom they are most often compared; how their lives changed following Entourage; recent collaborations with Sadat X; composing for film and television; and maintaining originality, creativity, and consistency over time.Opening Credits: Genx Beats - 07 Already (Lofi Mix) I CC BY 3.0 I Black Ant - Dark Slide I CC BY-NC-SA.

The BET Awards takeover brought star power and big conversations to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, led by Gary With Da Tea’s exclusive interviews with Johnny Gill and rising R&B star Tone Stith. Gill reflected on his legendary career while celebrating the release of his new single,“A Dance, A Kiss,” a collaboration produced by Snoop Dogg that he described as one of those rare records that instantly feels special. Recent reports note the song arrived following the success of his Billboard Adult R&B hit “One Night” and serves as a preview of more music and touring plans to come. Meanwhile, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tone Stith discussed his journey from writing hits for artists like Chris Brown to stepping into the spotlight with his debut album The Edge, powered by his chart-topping single“Fly,” which recently reached No. 1 on the Adult R&B charts. The show also sparked debate when DaBaby doubled down on his belief that he belongs in the same conversation as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole, boldly declaring himself the best rapper alive while expressing interest in collaborating with hip-hop’s elite. Elsewhere, Dr. MJ Collier’s Wellness Wednesday segment delivered important health advice, urging listeners to prioritize comprehensive physical exams, cancer screenings, cholesterol and thyroid testing, quality sleep, and preventative care. The morning’s entertainment news also highlighted The New York Times’ newly released list of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters, which included names such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Babyface, Lionel Richie, Kendrick Lamar, OutKast, and Taylor Swift, sparking conversation about who deserved a spot on the influential list. Packed with music industry insights, health guidance, celebrity interviews, and plenty of laughs, the episode blended entertainment and empowerment in true Rickey Smiley Morning Show fashion.

In honor of Black Music Month, Dr. Joy sits down with two women who experienced twenty years of Black music from opposite sides of the industry. Shanti Das spent over 25 years as a marketing executive at labels like LaFace and Universal Motown, working with artists from OutKast to Prince, before founding the mental health nonprofit Silence the Shame. Ivie Ani came of age alongside the music itself — a Bronx-raised teenager replaying The Beyoncé Experience on YouTube who grew into an award-winning journalist covering music and culture for The New York Times, Pitchfork, Okayplayer, and beyond. Together they trace the road from new music Tuesdays and 106 & Park to streaming, playlist culture, and fan communities millions deep. They revisit the albums that defined two eras — B'Day, In My Mind, Lemonade, Anti — and consider why 2016 feels like the last time we all listened together. The conversation turns to what emotional transparency costs Black women artists, how Rihanna became the blueprint for a new kind of superstar, and why the future of Black music may be taking shape in Lagos and Johannesburg as much as Atlanta and New York. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

In this episode of No Boundaries Podcast, Javito and Welly dive into a wide-ranging conversation on modern entertainment, music, media, and culture. They break down the frustration of mystery shows that drag out answers, debate whether From has lost its storytelling integrity, and compare how different audiences digest rap, hip-hop, and regional music. The conversation moves from Drake, Jay-Z, Southern rap, OutKast, Scarface, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and Nipsey Hussle to a larger discussion about artistry, performance, and why some music lasts while other songs simply become background noise. The episode closes with a sharp reflection on performative culture, politics as theater, and why society increasingly rewards spectacle over substance.

Reid. Rising to prominence as the dynamic drummer for the hitmaking 1980s R&B band The Deal, Reid seamlessly transitioned from the stage to the boardroom, cementing his status as a visionary producer, iconic songwriter, and major label force. Throughout his illustrious career, his taste and leadership guided the culture as the co-founder of LaFace Records, and later as the chairman and CEO of some of the most powerful major labels in music history, including Arista, Island Def Jam, and Epic Records. Bringing his journey full-circle, he continues to nurture the next generation of musical innovators through Mega, his powerful label venture launched in partnership with global superstar Usher. Joining hosts Philionaire, Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York, and Tamone Bacon, Reid engages in an open, free-flowing conversation about what it takes to shape the sound of a generation. Right from the jump, the chemistry is electric as Reid jokingly auditions to become the podcast's official fifth cast member, setting a warm and celebratory tone for an episode dedicated to giving an industry hero his well-deserved flowers. This first installment dives straight into the mind of a musical architect, exploring Reid's eclectic taste in music and his enduring philosophy on talent. The hosts cue up special video questions from fans, prompting Reid to share his candid thoughts on everything from his dream biopic casting to how he embraces AI as the next evolutionary tool for creatives and drawing a fascinating parallel to his own early days mastering the drum machine in the 1980s. He also pulls back the curtain on his legendary ability to spot undeniable star power, describing how true icons "move the air" the moment they step into a room. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are treated to an inside look at the history-making partnerships that defined an era. Reid reflects on his early days with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds in The Deal, surviving on "pride and being broke" while studying the mastery of Prince and Luther Vandross. The episode highlights the magical intuition behind some of his biggest triumphs, including the unorthodox breaking of Toni Braxton via the Boomerang soundtrack. Grounded in a deep, mutual respect for the craft, this first part captures the essence of a man who never let boxes define him, cementing a legacy built entirely on an uncompromising love for music.

Rising hip hop influencer Cameron McCloud lets us in on his journey and his processPART ONE: Paul and Scott chat about a song that's getting a lot of hate online and consider how the internet has redefined how we hear music. PART TWO:  Our in-depth conversation with Cameron McCloudABOUT CAMERON McCLOUD Cure for Paranoia is the Dallas-based alternative hip hop collective fronted by Cameron McCloud. Crowned "Rap Group of the Year" by the Dallas Entertainment Awards in 2025 and "Artist of the Year" in 2026, the group's name came about following McCloud's diagnosis with bipolar depression and paranoid schizophrenia. Their breakthrough came when Erykah Badu's tapped them to perform at her birthday bash, and they have since shared bills with such artists as George Clinton, Nas, Ludacris, and Leon Bridges. The group was named NPR Tiny Desk Contest finalists three times in 2023, 2024, and 2025 before winning the contest in 2026. In addition to the success of their most recent EP, Work of Art, they've gained attention online thanks to Cameron's 2025 challenge to release an original verse every day on his social media channels. Tackling everything from mental health to social injustice, his rhymes earned a substantial following. Inspired by groups such as Outkast, The Roots, and a Tribe Called Quest, Cameron McCloud and Cure for Paranoia are rapidly gaining a major national audience.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The most highly anticipated MLB bobblehead of ‘26 dropped last night in Baltimore. Did you get one? I think the Tupac bobblehead was the most anticipated MLB bobblehead since the Braves' OutKast release a few years ago. The line at Camden Yards was crazy. The Orioles even open gates early to make it easier on fans. The eBay resale prices are around $150 right now. That price will go up before it goes down for the record. I absolutely love this collaboration. Tupac had a strong connection to Baltimore and the state of Maryland. His sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, was on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Earlier in the day, Mayor Brandon Scott dedicated a street, Greenmount Ave, the the late rapper. Tupac spent his teenage years attending the Baltimore School of the Arts. All of that, and more, on today's Finish Your Breakfast.
