press start (shoutout to my friend noah who invited me onto an episode of the podcast in may!!!)

the afternoon special (i literally can’t sing praises about bobbi enough)

fangirl central (amanda and amber are doing wonders for black fangirls and i learned so much in this episode about barbie)

black people love paramore (the topics chosen by the host are always so…incredibly niche and real)
