    214. Boxes-N-Bubbles (Costarring Angel Conley)

    In the honest to goodness penultimate episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, Angel Conley is my very last guest! At long last, I reveal my top 10 greatest female MCs of all time and Angel brings 10 of her favorites. The similarities and the differences may shock you. Also, I may be sexist and I put women in boxes. I'm going to work on that.

    213. Understand Me Still

    On today's BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I celebrate Memphis Bleek and his 2003 album M.A.D.E. Then I lightly touch on some shows I finished (Ted Lasso and $chitt's Creek) and a show that I'm heavily invested in (Abbot Elementary). Then, I finish off my list of Movies I Can't Turn Off, started back in Episode #60. There's recommendations galore too!

    212. Songs Of Who I Was Before

    I literally rolled out of bed and came straight to the microphone. So, good morning sleepyheads. I talk about Matt's dad passing, The Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind, the second return of CM Punk, and my thoughts on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.

    211. What's A Comic Book Strip?

    The comic strip. A way to let go of your worries and have a chuckle. Well, I go into depth on some of my favorite comic strips including Peanuts, Pearls Before Swine, and my most recent find, Poorly Drawn Lines! Then, I tell the story of how I met Huey Mack and discuss his latest album The Cozy Bar. Finally, I give James Marsden and Keegan-Michael Key their flowers for just showing up in stuff I love!

    210. Make Your Jeremy Bearimys Count

    On this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I wanted to talk about things I was enjoying for the second time. We lead off with Mac Miller and his 2016 album The Divine Feminine after some Ja Morant jokes. Then we really reevaluate what I took away from my rewatch of The Good Place. And then I make another Ja Morant joke.

Strong mix of subjects and interesting commentary

There is something here for everyone.
Social commentary about race
Movies and TV
Sports
Music
Etc.

While there are a million podcasts with people looking for an audience, Hyphen Nation captures the growth and perspective of one man and all his passions. Its like an episodic biography in that you see a person evolve via their thoughts on their own hobbies and entertainment. Listen closely and long enough and you start to see the podcasts impact on other podcasts and Hyphens drive to give others a voice or just to have a fun conversation about just about anything.
