There's a lot of folk that do not like this but I think it's quite hot. Who else can pull off a curly mullet?

There's a little bit of Black History Month left....

noreply@blogger.com (Shrink Boutique) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 18:27:00 +0000

So listen or download. Always interesting to chat about black America....

Black History Munt

Q: What do you get when you pair two black journalists with two black artists?

A: A whole lot of controversy.

We decide to keep it low key this week with an informative podcast about the Hallmark lover's day featuring the murderous Saint Valentine and his mindless sidekick Cupid. Packed with personal stories and off the wall explanations about the true meaning of love, Quintin and Nicole banter to the sweetheart beats of DJ Timafei. If you can't get enough of our loving with this podcast, be sure to subscribe on iTunes!

In honor of Cupid, here's the best lesson ever of the cupid shuffle. Why.

Finding your swag + your inner mojo

noreply@blogger.com (Shrink Boutique) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:36:00 +0000

Quintin and Nicole unite yet again to bring you a hilarious hour of discussion about gaining confidence and redefining your "situation". With the glorious DJ Intel returning to spin, guests include Dr. Sheila Leidy and disco hip hop artist Keith Masters.

I figure it's black history month so let's look back at some origins of the word mojo and what is was about back in the day!

Look at him go.

In this week's episode, Quintin and Nicole get a little bout it bout it and discuss the alternative side of Chicago. Street performer and tap dancing extraordinaire Nico Rubio chimes in on what its like to hustle and rapper Pro Blak, who showed up to the studio more than an hour late, graces us with his views on street life in the second city.

Don't forget you can tune in L I V E every saturday at 6:45pm at Free Radio SAIC or subscribe this podcast on iTunes.

Woot Woot! Quintin and Nicole talk technology, performance art, and the failure known as Radio Shack (minus Teri Hatcher). Spinning in the background we have the laid back DJ Tim Zawada and providing commentary on our show topic is the lovely Tif Bullard (who also appeared in a past episode) and our technology expert Wesley Winslow Wilson. With special music guest Herron deJesus, this show will enlighten you... or at least make you giggle in shame.

What a season it was.

noreply@blogger.com (Shrink Boutique) — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:01:00 +0000

Quintin & Nicole finish 2009 with a bang in an episode dedicated to their love (and dislike) of the windy city. Former Chicago Luvable Dee Grigas and art journalist Olivia Liendo join the duo for a lively discussion while our favorite DJ 5/16 spins in the background. In addition to being more offensive than usual, the comedic banter that ensues is pure genius. The first season of our radio show was a triumph but season two (debuting next week) is going to be insane.

Oh Snapeth! It's another episode of hilarious banter with your friends Quintin and Nicole and this week the topic of discussion is the Dirty South. Being raised in Nashville, Tennessee the accent-less Quintin found it appropriate to dedicate this power hour to his native land despite the major hateration of Nicole who once visited a Crackle Barrel and felt like she was in A Time to Kill. There was also a NDH first, with a live performance from Chicago country singer KJ Smith. With only two mics and a guitar, KJ debuted two of his songs and discusses the business of country music. And let's not forget an exclusive interview with mysterious photographer Lynette Astaire (who wore Crocs to the show...) and live mixing courtesy of DJ 5/16.
