Join bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.)
As transplants to New York City (Kid Fury from Miami and Crissle from Oklahoma City), The Read also serves as an on-air therapy session for two friends trying to adjust to life (and rats) in the big city.
The Read is part of the LoudSpeakers Network and is published every week on iTunes, iHeart Radio Talk, Soundcloud & Stitcher.
Customer Reviews
I found a GREAT podcast.
I listen to a lot of podcasts and try to give a most new ones a chance. THIS ONE I LIKE from the very first minutes. I'm a 50 y.o. straight white dude who doesn't listen to hiphop/rap, but I found the hosts engaging, intelligent, opinionated, and have a clicking chemistry. They do not hesitate to be critical but not in a nasty way. Also, they seem to have a great, accurate overview of the entertainment biz. GIVE THEM A LISTEN, you won't be sorry !
A World Change
I was first introduced to the The Read by a friend of mine this past spring. Now I used to watch Kid Fury’s videos back in the YouTube days and Crissle West on her incredible episode of Drunk History; one that I constantly quote and send to people whenever I recommend looking up history. I listen to The Read at my retail job to keep me strangling Karen waiting in my line. Through their hilarity and sharp comments I learn something new about culture, messiness, and mental health every single week. They make me laugh on my most depression-ridden days and have convinced me to go back to therapy when I can afford it.
On another note, I know that as a white gay woman Kid Fury and Crissle are not curbing their content to make me comfortable nor do I think they care about my opinion, and that’s perfectly fine. These two beautiful, hilarious, and intelligent black queer icons are changing the world one episode at a time.
So good
I have a good laugh every time I listen to this podcast. I love how the host speak their minds. It a good way to break up a boring day.
