The Last Waltz (w/ Robert Wilonsky)
March 31, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBAfter three months of trying to do something that resembled a podcast, The Continuing Adventures of Crizzle and Camilo is coming to a close with this episode. Hell, Camilo doesn't even appear in this one. (He had a job interview.) This leaves Crizzle all by his lonesome to talk to veteran Dallas journalist Robert Wilonsky. They talk about that crazy time Crizzle met him in Dallas, Wilonsky's career as a journalist, how superhero movies are becoming tiresome (even to a comic-book nerd like W...
The Lucha Libre Episode (w/ La Spooky)
March 24, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 38.7 MBOn this week's episode, you'll hear Camilo be the giddiest he's ever been on the show. That's because our guest is the masked, lucha libre wrestler La Spooky. (Ol' girl actually wore the mask during our convo!) Camilo and Spooky basically talk a lotta shop about lucha libre culture (with Crizzle jumping in every once in a while to remind them to explain things for the audience), from what exoticos are to how Spooky deals with being a luchadora in a scene where the fans range from adorable gi...
New Jersey, Stand-Up & More About Washing Your A** (w/ Gordon Baker-Bone)
March 17, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBWe delve into what's going on in the stand-up comedy world with today's guest, comedian and podcaster Gordon Baker-Bone. Of course, we get into Chris Rock and the responses he's received about his latest Netflix special. But we also get into Marlon Wayans's latest HBO special, as well as how comedians handle the press, live audiences and those easily-offended naysayers on Twitter. And, if you've listened to last week's show, you know Crizzle asks Baker-Bone an important question that may or ...
Do You Wash Your A**? (w/ The Frank White Experience)
March 10, 2023 18:51 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBWith men on TikTok getting called out as of late for not washing their posteriors, Crizzle felt the need to start things off by asking Camilo and today's guests, Eman and Skribe from The Notorious B.I.G. cover band The Frank White Experience, the titular question. While Camilo didn't want to get into the matter much, Eman and Skribe were quite open with discussing proper hygiene, even getting into the best soaps and body washes to use. Of course, we also talk what made them start up a Biggie...
I Embrace My N***ality (w/ Keno Sims)
March 03, 2023 14:06 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBThis one was nuts. First off, the hosts try to have an opening conversation -- which, if you've been listening to the show, goes exactly how you think it'll go. Then, today's guest, musician/professional thrift vendor Keno Sims, finally enters the chat. To say this dude hits the ground running would be an understatement. He and Camilo talk about their love of VHS tapes (which goes into an odd tangent regarding cancel culture), while Crizzle asks him about his days living in New Orleans and ...
Gentrification, UFOs & a Snoring Dog (w/ Risky Cereal)
February 24, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBOn this week's episode, DJ/radio host/filmmaker/artist/registered organ donor Drew "Risky Cereal" Evans shows up (along with his snoring dog) to give us everything we need to know about dude: his days in LA doing street promotion for labels, managing musicians in Houston, what he's been doing over at online radio station All Real Radio, his battles with the new Popeyes across the street from his house (which he's making a documentary on), the times he has seen UFOs, his side hustle selling c...
We Wanna Be in Playboy! (w/ Dylan Maynard)
February 17, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 36.9 MBCamilo is back, and he brought with him artist/model Dylan Maynard, the podcast's first female guest. We chop it up about her artwork, the art show she's appearing in this weekend (and the art show Camilo is appearing in this weekend), that time she painted a basement mural of OutKast, her days drumming in the marching band, doing Pancakes & Booze art shows, and that time she almost posed for Playboy. (This prompts Crizzle to talk about how he also wanted to be in the magazine -- it's not wh...
Crazy from the Heat (w/ Blake Howard)
February 10, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBCamilo is out for this episode, which leaves Craig all alone to talk to Australian cinephile/film podcaster Blake Howard. He's down under creating a number of podcasts over at One Heat Minute Productions. (Craig did a couple of appearances on one here and here.) They talk about the trailer for the new Matt Damon-Ben Affleck joint, the passing of Burt Bacharach, why Craig hasn't been on any of Blake's podcasts in a while, why Craig isn't on Twitter anymore, the horrors of working in public ra...
In a Philly Mood (w/ lil'dave)
February 03, 2023 13:53 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBThis week, we get into it with David Adams, better known as Philadelphia DJ lil'dave. Fresh from Sundance, he gives us a report on what it was like scoring a short film that was in the festival. We also discuss his humble beginnings, living in Houston, his long-running stint as cohost of Eavesdrop Radio, his Excellent Reception podcast, his favorite film composers, and what he does when drunk people roll up on him demanding that he plays Drake. But, mostly, we talk about Philly, from the mus...
Old Head S**t (w/ Maurice Blackwell)
January 27, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 49 MBOn this week's episode, we talk with Camilo's old buddy, mover and shaker Maurice Blackwell. We ask him about his years working in the record business, working and hanging out with R & B & hip-hop greats, and almost getting a date with Mya. We also talk about how he set up the Ultimate Rap League as well as his own tea business, the Lily Tea Company. And the last half hour is just us griping about the Oscars, how expensive movie theaters are, whether or not malls still exist, and other bulls...
Ain't No Hot Sauce in Paris!?! (w/ Vernal Coleman)
January 20, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 40.4 MBOn this week's ep, we talk shop with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Vernal Coleman, who has written for The Boston Globe, The Star-Ledger and other papers. We discuss Vernal's Pulitzer win, his current gig at ProPublica, the current state of journalism, his recent European vacation, the differences between food here and food overseas, the sadness that is being lactose-intolerant, working the murder beat at a daily paper, and being a journalist of color. You can hit up Crai...
This Has Nothing to Do with Bullet Train (w/Briefcase Brad)
January 13, 2023 13:00 - 42 minutes - 24.7 MBOn this week's episode, we chop it up rapper/beatmaker/skater boi Briefcase Brad, a pal and former neighbor of Camilo's. The pair catch up on old times before we get into his humble beginnings as an avid akateboarder and aspiring MC. We get into his trappy, druggy style of hip-hop, as well as the Houston and Atlanta music scenes, his love of mob movies, and which '70s soul group Brad is related to. We also play a track from Flannels & Cords, Brad's latest EP. And he makes a surprise announce...
Whip Wop Galore (w/Brandon Collins)
January 06, 2023 13:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MBOh, sweet Jesus -- we have a guest! Slipping into this ongoing thing we're trying to define is Brandon Collins, comedian, screenwriter, and co-host of the podcasts Medium Popcorn (N****s Spoiling Movies) and Drunk Black History. We talk about his latest adventures in Hollywood -- where he's working on a movie script -- as well as the past year in movies, why RRR is freakin' awesome, how he became a Rotten Tomatoes-certified film critic, how movies have become just as divisive as politics, a...
Dumb N***a S**t

Happy New Year!
The Continuing Adventures of Crizzle & Camilo (Test Run #3)
December 25, 2022 19:15 - 1 hour - 35.8 MBI believe the third time's the charm. I think Camilo and I are getting the hang of this in our third test run. We talk about Uber horror stories, American Movie, the Elvis Mitchell doc on Netflix, the freezing Texas weather, the service you get at fast-food places. '80s sitcoms, what to do during the holidays, and the Twin Peaks shirt I was wearing while we recorded this.
The Continuing Adventures of Crizzle & Camilo (Test Run #2)
December 25, 2022 18:53 - 32 minutes - 16.7 MBAlright, here's the second test run I did with my buddy Camilo. I caught him coming out of a job fair, where he also got a free haircut. We recorded this one just after all the James Gunn/DCEU news, so we spend most of this session talking about that. We also get into how all these superhero movies are monopolizing the multiplexes, while the multiplexes are doing everything they possibly can (has anyone seen a movie in ScreenX?) to put asses in seats.
The Continuing Adventures of Crizzle & Camilo (Test Run #1)
December 25, 2022 18:22 - 35 minutes - 18.7 MBWell, long time, no see. This is a new thing I'm trying out, which is me and a fellow freelance journalist, Camilo Hannibal Smith, shooting the shit every week and trying to make a podcast out of it. We did three test runs, and this is the first one. We talk about Britney Griner getting released, how to stay sober, and whether or not we're gonna see Avatar 2. I'm also doing this to get back in the swing of talking to people again. Yeah, these past couple of years have really done a number o...
Everything is Cancelled Extra: Cassidy Hartmann
January 26, 2021 00:08 - 53 minutes - 122 MBListen, I don't know when I'll get back to doing this podcasting thing. I'm broke and the place where I usually record it is still fucking up. So, until I figure things out, here is this convo I had with Cassidy Hartmann, a former editor of mine who has now branched out into producing such documentaries. as The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years (currently on Hulu), The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart (currently on HBO Max) and The Apollo (currently on HBO Max and will ...
Have a Melancholy Christmas (w/ Jennifer Bringle)

I go off, as always, on people who refuse to stay home and not get the 'Rona, Young Thug dissing Andre 3000, whether or not Noah Cyrus knows what "nappy" means and a way-less tragic way for the police to take down Black men. Later on, I speak to Sacha Jenkins, filmmaker, former music journalist and the man responsible for bringing his late father's film Cane River back from obscurity. As for music, I play tunes from HAIM, Lyric Jones featuring Little Brother and Bl...
Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting! (w/Andy Klein)
August 14, 2020 12:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBBy the time I recorded this, my buzz was gone. I try my best to keep things nice and ignant at the top of the show, discussing how the Biden/Harris ticket has ruined the GOP's year, why Coronavirus isn't exactly scaring people, how anti-maskers also have bad breath and why that Cardi B/Megan Thee Stallion song isn't the filthiest thing you've ever heard. Later on, I get on the phone with veteran, Los Angeles film critic Andy Klein as he discusses his experiences writing for alt-weeklies, hi...
The Birthday Show -- aka What the F**k I Gotta Celebrate? (w/Jason Shawhan)
July 31, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBYeah, this one is melancholy as hell. I just had a birthday, so you know I talk about how much of a bitch it is getting old. I also get into that dumb-ass Houston doctor that Trump likes, all the people who recently passed away (including former presidential candidate/Godfather's Pizza founder Herman Cain), why Republicans insist on pissing off AOC and a nasty snack that's been floating around on Twitter. Later on, I have an equally downbeat talk with film critic (and upcoming birthday boy)...
What the F**k is Going On -- and READ A BOOK! (w/Jennifer Kabay)
July 19, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 82.8 MBHey, y'all, I'm back -- again! After a good while of me trying to get my car working again, I spend a good 20-25 minutes going off about Trump (of course!), the death of John Lewis, how August Alsina messed up the side-nigga game, why Azealia Banks needs to shut up and why everything is just horrible. I do find some solace talking to author, librarian and ol' high-school chum Jennifer Kabay about why reading is important during this pandemic. We also get into the other crazy experiences sh...
Hope Don't Do It Alone (w/ Charlie Smarts)
June 05, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBYeah, I got hella hammered for this episode. I talk about what's been going on these past couple weeks -- with the police brutality, riots, looting, deaths and a president who ain't ready to do a gotdamn thing except bring on the military. I also talk to Charlie Smarts, hip-hop MC and one of the many members of the North Carolina collective Kooley High, about what's been going on, along with gamer culture, sweet potato soup, thick girls and a whole lotta other stuff.

Y'all N***as Really Wanna Go to Red Robin That Bad?! (w/ Damien Randle)
May 22, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBWell, I'm back. I decided to get back on the mic to talk about this pandemic and how I am basically surrounded by dumb sons-a-bitches who don't give a damn about anyone. Later on, I holler at podcaster, rapper and old friend Damien Randle, co-host of the Opinions While Black podcast, and we basically riff about how everyone is awful. As for music, I play tunes by Jill Scott, Sammie, The Beauty Room and K-Otix. If you want to donate to the podcast, go here.
Everything is Cancelled Extra: Alan Zweibel
May 20, 2020 23:02 - 21 minutes - 2.51 MBI was hoping I could turn this into a profile piece, but that didn't happen. So, I figured I'd drop these twenty or so minutes I spent with Alan Zweibel, a comedy writer/author/screenwriter/playwright best known for his years coming up with classic skits and bits on the early days of Saturday Night Live, co-creating It's Garry Shandling's Show and working with such comic icons as Billy Crystal and Larry David. He talks about all of that in his new book, Laugh Lines: My Life Making Funny Peop...
Keep Your Ass Inside, Block Out the Noise & TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER! (w/ Nelson George)
March 27, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 91.1 MBIt's another coronavirus-ified edition of this damn podcast. I start things off basically rambling about Trump being a petty little bitch, yelling at reporters for constantly reminding him he's doing a shitty-ass job, and all this would be handled better if more muhfuckas actually cared about each other. (BTW, our lieutenant governor is also a bitch!) Later on, I have a civilized conversation with author/filmmaker/music-journalist legend Nelson George about his latest compilation, The Nelso...
Coronavirus is Here for a Reason (w/ Michael Angelo Covino & Kyle Marvin)
March 13, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBSince most of you will be in this weekend, why don't you listen to this damn episode. I ramble on about the coronavirus, DaBaby slapping that girl at the club, why y'all are acting like you won't get with Lizzo and how, basically, everything is cancelled. Then, I go to a pre-recorded interview with Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin, stars of the new indie buddy comedy The Climb, about their new movie. We also get into their opinions on the coronavirus, among other things. As for music,...
Black History Month: A Look Back (w/ Rod Morrow)
February 28, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 119 MBOn this episode, I go back and figure out what was the gotdamn deal with this past month. But first, I go off on how we might all die from this coronavirus, what the hell is going on with Steven Spielberg's sex-worker daughter and why soccer moms in minivans are the most dangerous drivers out there. Later on, I talk to Rod Morrow, co-host of the podcast The Black Guy Who Tips, as we go over this past Black History Month -- Kobe, Snoop, Gayle, Dwyane and his kid, etc. We also talk how we go ...
A Visit with My Man-Crush (w/ Omar)
February 14, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBHappy Valentine's Day, bitches! On this episode, I go off on Snoop vs. Gayle, the Coronavirus, the Democrats, the Oscars and how the hell you should spend this V-Day. Then, I talk to legendary British sensation Omar via Skype about his new greatest-hits collection The Anthology, his longevity in the business and how it feels to be my personal man-crush.

Bonus: The Oscars (w/ Sean Burns)
February 10, 2020 17:30 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBHere's a little something special for all the Crizzleheads out there. On this bonus ep, I Skype it up with film critic/returning champion Sean Burns, as we talk about what the hell happened at the Oscars last night. Sean's jaws get tight over SNLers and the way they presented the craft categories -- that is, when he's not trying to figure out why Eminem was there. We both agree that all the Parasite wins were well-deserved. BTW, despite what Sean says, I was not asleep before we recorded thi...
Uncle Crizzle's Sports Talk (w/ Joel Blank)
January 31, 2020 20:09 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBOn this week's show, I pretend I have a sports-radio show.

Later on, I talk to Joel Blank (who actually has a sports-radio show) about Kobe, the Astros, the general shittiness of contemporary sports journalism and how he's gonna spend this Super Bowl Sunday. As for music, I play tunes by Robert Gla...
Trump, the Oscars and Edibles (w/ Brandon Collins)
January 17, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBWhere do we begin with this one? First, I start things off by rambling about the Trump impeachment, the Astros scandal, Odell Beckham, Jr., Meghan Markle and how white people just don't know what to do with black people. Later, I call up Brandon Collins, comedian and host of one of my favorite podcasts, Medium Popcorn, and we discuss how the Oscars is still on that bullshit, what Trump has done to American politics and why people should really know more about properly consuming edibles. As...
No New A**holes in 2020 (w/Joshua Starnes)
January 03, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBI start off the New Year on a very melancholic note. I basically begin things by rambling about how things continue to be not going well for me (this was brought on by having to dip into my rent money to get a replacement iPhone) and urging people to stop being dicks in social media and in real life. Later on, I talk to old friend (and fellow Houston Film Critics Society member) Joshua Starnes about the year in movies. As for music, I play tunes by Citizen Cope, Adrian Younge featuring Gal...
Investigative Journalism... and Timbs (w/ Vernal Coleman)
December 21, 2019 01:28 - 1 hour - 94.3 MBWell, what do we have here? I start things off talking about the impending, Trump impeachment trial, white girls getting kidnapped (and black girls who aren't) and why the hell you're even dealing with the new Star Wars and Cats movies. Later, I talk to Vernal Coleman, investigative reporter for the Boston Globe, as we have a lengthy discussion about the state of investigative journalism -- that somehow slips into a conversation about Timberlands near the end. Happy Holidays! As for music,...
BTS Fans Are the Best/More Scorsese Bulls**t (w/ Oz Longworth, Jr.)
December 06, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 107 MBAs always, I went off the deep end on this one. First, I give a hearty shout-out to BTS fans for not dragging a brotha. Then, I go off on world leaders talking shit about Trump, Kamala Harris dropping out of the presidential race, Joe Biden being an old white guy and why R. Kelly will forever be ain't shit. Then, I really go off when I talk to Oz Longworth, Jr., writer and co-host of the Opinions While Black podcast. We spend an unhealthy amount of time debating about whether Martin Scorses...
S**t, I Forgot to Ask About Popeyes (w/ Eric Sandler)
November 22, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 79.2 MBI kinda dropped the ball on this episode. First, I rant about the impeachment mess, Roger Stone, Colin Kaepernick & the NFL and Julia Roberts almost getting the role of Harriet Tubman. Later, I talk to CultureMap Houston food writer/critic (and cubicle neighbor) Eric Sandler about many things -- his humble beginnings, foodie elitism, why Jewish people aren't that good at chili cookoffs. Unfortunately, the one thing we don't talk about is the Popeyes chicken sandwich. Sorry about that. As f...

Later on, I talk to DJ (and psychotherapist) Ethan Klein as we reminisce about Houston's nightlife scene back in the day. But, really, I bring him in for an impromptu therapy session. (Hey, a brotha needs help any way he can get it!) As for music, I play tunes from Zack F...
Amazon Women, Latin Rappers & Menudo (w/ Camilo Hannibal Smith)
October 25, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 95.3 MBYeah, this was an enjoyably odd one. I start off things ranting about old-ass filmmakers vs. the Marvel CInematic Universe, CVS drones dropping medication on unsuspecting old people and an '80s yacht-rock legend selling fake World Series tickets to cops. Later on, I talk to freelance journalist (and "street culture whisperer") Camilo Hannibal Smith about the freelancing game and writing about hip-hop in Houston. We also get into Shea Serrano getting Film Twitter angry, tacky comedies from t...
Yeah, I'm Thinking I'm Back (w/Sean Burns)
October 11, 2019 12:03 - 1 hour - 89 MBWell, I think I'm back. I have returned to the podcast airwaves with this let's-see-how-things-go episode. I start off rambling about Giuliani's aides getting arrested, all the Trump bullshit, Matt Lauer raping colleagues and Joshua Brown. My guest is old friend and returning champion Sean Burns, and we basically go off on MCU stans hating on Scorsese, Joker, the upcoming Oscar season and just getting old. As for music, I play tunes by Bobby Caldwell, Mac Ayres and Little Brother. This episo...
The Sour Hour, February 27, 2019 (Sean Burns)
February 28, 2019 16:39 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MBWell, folks, I gotta go. This week's episode is the final one (for now). I start off explaining my reasons for shutting it down, as I muster up the strength to talk about Michael Cohen, Hotep Twitter going off about Billy Porter and other things. Later, I talk to my boy Sean Burns about the Oscars, why comic-book fans have to screw everything up and why this show would have him on the floor laughing. As for music, I play tunes from Jamiroquai, Eric Bellinger and Maverick Sabre featuring C...
The Sour Hour, February 20, 2019 (Geoff Edgers)
February 21, 2019 20:13 - 56 minutes - 78.1 MBI was (fill in negative emotion here) during this one. On this edition, I begin by going off on how trash-ass this Black History Month has been, with all the clothing corporations being stupid, Jussie Smollett setting both black and gay people back and being reminded that John Wayne was an old-ass racist. Later, I talk to journalist/author Geoff Edgers about his new book WALK THIS WAY: RUN-DMC, AEROSMITH AND THE SONG THAT CHANGED AMERICAN MUSIC FOREVER. We also discuss the sad state of news...
The Sour Hour, February 13, 2019 (Lloyd Kaufman)
February 14, 2019 18:53 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MBWell, this one was crazy. I started things off talking about the craziness I've dealt with this past week (hanging out at a sketchy, understaffed Red Roof Inn and almost going to war with someone over a yoga mat, etc.). Later, I play a very crazy, pre-recorded interview with famed B-movie filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman, where we discuss his Troma empire, his latest work and why you should really never call his work schlock. As for music, I play tunes from The Doobie Brothers, Nicolay & Kay featur...
The Sour Hour, February 6, 2019 (No Guest)
February 11, 2019 21:08 - 54 minutes - 75.3 MBYeah, here's another one I'm not that proud of. My guest backed out at the last minute and I spent most of this show going off about my current homeless situation (yeah, I'm homeless again!), Nancy Pelosi's savage ass, blackface, Liam Neeson, J. Lo doing Motown at the Grammys and other stuff. I also played music from D'Angelo, Her Songs, Eric Roberson, Backstreet Boys, Khrauangbin and The PLAYlist featuring Glenn Lewis. (In case you're wondering, every time a guest backs out, I post a photo...
The Sour Hour, January 30, 2019 (DJ Soul One)
February 04, 2019 20:30 - 57 minutes - 79.2 MBThis is the episode where I just needed a friend. Returning champion DJ Soul One returns to the guest seat, as we chop it up about James Ingram's legacy and he tries to convince me that I've accomplished a lot with my show, even though I'm currently broke and homeless in my hometown. Before that, I rant about Roger Stone, Terry Crews, Gina Rodriguez and why I think KFC is trying to kill you. As for music, I play tunes from Spymob, Paul McCartney & Wings and Reggie Watts. The Sour Hour air...
The Sour Hour, January 23, 2019 (Kadrae G. Armstrong)
January 24, 2019 20:48 - 1 hour - 27.5 MBYeah, this one was a straight-up mess. After a week of trying to get locals to appear on the show, I finally got musician Kadrae G. Armstrong to come down and talk about his love of Prince, breakdancing movies and why he has a serious grudge of R. Kelly. Speaking of R., I bring up why famous Black women feel the need to talk about him in the opening rant, along with the Covington Catholic fracas, the Oscar nominations, the Bryan Singer scandal and why I love eating cheesecakes at the House...
The Sour Hour, January 16, 2019 (Liz Spikol)
January 17, 2019 19:16 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBThis episode was done in a sober fashion (although I did have three cups of coffee beforehand). I open up the show going off on Trump and the shutdown, that ridiculous fast-food feast he had, stars distancing themselves from R. Kelly and a recent run-in I had with gold grill-wearing dude outside of a gas station. Later on, I call up Liz Spikol, a former colleague from my Philadelphia Weekly days, about the old days and how to properly report on mental health in print, especially when the p...
The Sour Hour, January 9, 2019 (Matt Zoller Seitz)
January 10, 2019 17:26 - 58 minutes - 80.4 MBI gotta admit, this isn't one of my best ones. I start off by yammering at length about Trump, R. Kelly and the Golden Globes (along with making an error about GREEN BOOK that I'm still kicking myself over). Later on, I play a pre-recorded interview featuring a groggy, disoriented me and Matt Zoller Seitz, film/TV critic and co-author of the newly released book THE SOPRANOS SESSIONS. Of course, we talk about the legacy of that TV show and why even he thought people were going overboard on t...
The Sour Hour, January 2, 2019 (Joshua Starnes)
January 03, 2019 23:27 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBLet's start the New Year off right! On the first episode of 2019, I just go into things that we absolutely don't need this year, and that includes white people calling on black people because they have too many coupons, people talking about spilling the tea and black dudes making videos in their car.

The Sour Hour, December 19, 2018 (Cyra the Artist)
December 20, 2018 20:32 - 59 minutes - 81.8 MBI ramble my way through talking about Trump Tower Russia, Cardi B curving Offset live on stage, the Jacquees-Keith Sweat showdown and a horrible #BankingWhileBlack story. Then, I talk to New York-born, Houston-based art person Cyra the Artist, who brought a certain food item to the studio that we bickered about (and consumed) a lot. This week's music comes from Daley, Tone Stith and H.E.R. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2. Listen live at http://kpft.org/listen.
