Customer Reviews
Love this show!
Their Pre-woke segments are everything!
Very Informative and Entertaining
Now that I've discovered this show I listen to every one. Thank you, Aisha, for bringing us the various dimensions of each topic so that our thinking is refreshed. Aisha-Sky
The host brings it all together
Consume & pay attention to a small amount of popular culture and television. However, I listen every week because the host is impressive to listen to & I always learn something new.
