We’re having a great 2012 so far.

We’re seeing a bunch of new listeners & downloads and we are ecstatic. Our social media campaign is thriving (We’re only 58 account donations from passing the well organized The Young Turks. Have you donated your account yet?) and we’re being booked to cover events all through out the year. What could we do to continue this magic?

We’ve just released all episodes of Blacking It Up. 214 episodes are currently available for download on iTunes & RSS.

Maybe you don’t know why the chatroom yells “Milton!” Why does L. Joy love saying “YOU’RE A CIRCLE?” How did L. Joy even get on the show? When did Aaron become a Doctor? Who is “Internationally known poet Bassey Ikpi?” You now can listen to all the episodes–including the crappy episodes earlier on (every show has its growing pains) We want to share our evolution with you. Laugh, cry and enjoy the epic journey of Blacking It Up!
