Fine Beats & Cheeses Leslie Gray Streeter & Lynne Streeter Childress

This week, our guests are US! Leslie and Lynne talk Fox's hit doctor show, "The Resident". It's really fun! And Lynne clears her throat a lot because we recorded this at like 7 AM a few days ago! And at one point, Lynne and Leslie have an argument that our producer said we should keep in because it showed good conflict resolution. You're welcome!!

This was a funny and informative discussion with Meredith Davis, Ph. D., about the intersection of race and reality TV. We talk Flava Flav and Bachelorettes and The Real World and such!

We are pumped to welcome James and Stephanie hosts of the VERY popular Pitchy Podcast, to talk about NBC's The Voice (which their awesome podcast discusses weekly). There is probably more giggling on this episode than any other FB&C episode so far. AND WE LOVED IT.

This is a REALLY fantastic and really well-researched episode with our guest, Rissa Miller, who is an author, editor, herbalist and storyteller. Rissa brought us an engaging discussion about the archetype of the "goth girl", and it goes beyond the stereotype of the moody girl with black eyeliner. We talk about identity and belonging, and I really hope you enjoy it!!
