It gets lonely in space but you always have family. Our ebony heroes embark on an exploration of the heart with comedian Chris Riggins, who invited the Cosbynauts into his domicile for a home-cooked meal. Listen in on the retelling of adorable precociousness, (im)maturity and a meeting at a Berkeley club that changed two lives by creating two others. 

Episode 6: Guns (w/ Justin Gomes and Josh Androsky)

May 09, 2013 17:09 - 1 hour - 45.3 MB

Bullets and pressurized areospace capsules are rarely a fair congregation. Nonetheless, the Blackstronauts take to firearms alongside Sylvan Production's Justin Gomes of high velocity in zero-gravity. Josh Androsky, noted Los Angeleno and Skateboard Rabbi, arrives midway through the explosive conversation. Collectively, the four discuss zombies, gun laws, Brits, tits, and why it's a bad idea to shoot first and ask questions later. 

Episode 5: Giants (w/ Andrew Holmgren)

December 20, 2012 18:50 - 31 minutes - 29.7 MB

The Blackstronauts, encapsulated in the far reaches of the cold, dark vacuum, recall a recent simulation. This simulation had them half-intoxicated in AT&T Park, rooting for the San Francisco Giants – en route to a championship – alongside the premier Giant's enthusiast, comedian Andrew Holmgren. Hologram recollection is often fragmented, especially at Mach David Gborie, but the trio does the their best to remember the Earth-day that once was.

November 26, 2012 22:06 - 1 minute - 1.8 MB

The Black Astronauts (Blackstronauts!) have just come in contact with Charlie Murphy Matter (i.e. dark matter), corrupting their instruments and marooning them into the clutches of the solar system. They're currently on a collision course with San Francisco, Tuesday 11/27, at Space 1582 on 1582 Folsom St. They're asking you to please come out and see them co-headline the Negrolevity showcase hosted by Lyall Behrens.

Episode 4: 'In Da Club' (w/ Matt Louv)

November 08, 2012 00:56 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MB

A million disco lights across the obsidian basin of the sky, dead stars for dead nights for dead souls in far gone nightlife. Three spacemen (OJ Patterson, David Gborie, and Matt Louv) enter into a realm of exploration of which they know no expertise: "Da Club". This is the encapsulation of wine, crime and good times. 

Episode 3: Singing (w/ Amy Miller)

June 12, 2012 22:36 - 37 minutes - 50.8 MB

In the deep recesses of the final frontier, two Astrotainers float toward the precipice of boredom and lethargy. To alleviate the hallow life of vacuum-living, they have invited friend and famed soprano, Amy Miller, to chat about Bay Area Choral Harmonies (B.A.C.H.) The result is classically a classic.
