Ron has lived his entire adult life as a black man in a white world. In 2016 he had both a crisis of his Christian faith as well as a racial identity crisis (you can guess why). Since then he’s been on a journey to reconnect with his blackness in a way he never has before. Joining him will be his Black BFFs and the “Bow & Dre” to his “Junior,” JD and Yolanda T. Cochran. Every episode they’ll discuss issues of race and religion, politics and pop culture. Shade will be thrown. Jokes will be made. And provocative conversations will be had. He’s just one nerdy Oreo tryna become a double-fudge brownie y’all. So go easy on a brutha. (Note: Season 1 originally aired via the Ebony Podcast Network when it was live.)

    The title says it all, dontcha think? The Season 1 finale is everything you hoped for…and more! In this episode, you'll hear a DefCon 2 debate about friend chicken, the origins of chicken and waffles, and the answer to the age-old question—is there any other kind of mac and cheese besides baked?

    Ron addresses the question he's avoided directly addressing all season. Does he answer it? Well, kind of.
