Love the podcast

What a funny and witty bunch of black people. Love that they bring humour to serious topics but can also engage in thoughtful debates without being annoying. Great podcast!

hacha999 ,

Love It!

Such an insightful and funny perspective!

Mz. ProBin ,

Great Podcast but...

Great podcast, enjoy the banter between them all, especially the accents. Also like that they deal with important issues, as well as a politics. Have listened to a few shows now. The only negative is Nessy, she is soo annoying!!
I think the show would be much better without her. She’s always cutting people off, &, always wants to be right and have the last point..
Sometimes it’s ok to agree to disagree & keep it moving...!
