The World At Large

The World At Large

The World At Large is one man’s outward view of the cultural landscape. Borrowing a bar from arguably the GOAT MC, tune in weekly as Que “gives you the news with a twist, it’s just his ghetto point of view.”

    Ep 60: Texas school districts enforce their own mask mandates, Happy belated birthday to “WAP”, Cory Booker goes viral after Senate vote, NCAA fails to punish Baylor & more

    Fresh off an absence last week due to technical difficulties TWAL is back for its 60th episode. The show begins with news out of the Lone Star State. Gov. Greg Abbott had previously done away with mask mandates and with school beginning, some districts took it upon themselves to enforce their own form of the aforementioned mask mandate. Que offers a look back at the one-year (albeit belated) anniversary of CardI B and Meg Thee Stallion’s chart topping ode to women’s sexual agency, “WAP” New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker went viral last week after a video of him making sarcastic comments after a vote passed surrounding the defunding of the police. Listen in as Que takes the politician to task for completely whiffing on the moment. The NCAA handed down a punishment to Baylor but not for their failure in reporting sexual assault claims. Que takes the listener down memory lane about the scandal which first started off as a football story but then wound up highlighting a campus-wide failure in how violence against women was handled. Finally, the show is then closed out with, “The Last Call”.

    Ep 58: Texas’ “Anti-CRT” Bill, NBA Finals review, NFL COVID-19 memo, “Donda” listening party & more

    This week’s episode begins with a review of a Texas legislature known as “SB 3”. The bill  strips out most mentions of women and people of color in that section. It also removes the requirement to teach “the history of white supremacy, including but not limited to the institution of slavery, the eugenics movement, and the Ku Klux Klan, and the ways in which it is morally wrong.” With a win in game six, the Milwaukee Bucks secured their first NBA title since the days of Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1971. Giannis Antetokounmpo was named Finals MVP in part to his historic performance. Que gives the listeners a recap of these Finals and waxes poetically about Giannis. NFL sent out a leaguewide memo that laid out the consequences should a team suffer an outbreak heading into next season. That then brought on many players taking to social media and voicing their feelings, Cardinals WR Deandre Hopkins even threw out possibly retiring. Kanye West was back in the news courtesy of hosting a listening party at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta. This event reportedly broke an Apple Music streaming record. Finally, the show is then closed out with “The Last Call”.

    Ep 57: Stephen A winds up in hot water, Sandra Bland anniversary, USA Basketball struggles in early exhibition games, Crisis in Cuba & more

    This week’s episode of TWAL begins with the story of ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith finding himself in the world of trouble as a result of comments he made on an episode of “First Take” about Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim star player Shohei Othani. Listen as Que explains where Smith made a salient point but ended up veering off the path. Next, last week marked six years since Sandra Bland was found dead from suicide in a Texas jail as a result of an encounter with a local officer. Que revisits the series of events that led to a tragic ending and added another name to an ever growing list of victims. With the Olympics around the corner Team USA basketball is in tune-up mode by playing a slate of exhibition games. Two early losses had everybody in panic mode and questioning if their reign at the top is over. A rash of protests have taken off in the country of Cuba. They come from the citizens being fed up with a host of things that have long been a problem. Listen as Que offers his take and why this isn’t the time to sing the praise of capitalism. Finally, the show is then closed out with “The Last Call”.
