Hit me on buzz - A fun, afrocentric Buzzfeed Podcast

Friends in my head Heban Nigatu and Tracy Clayton host a promising podcast on BuzzFeed. BuzzFeed is an Internet media company based in New York City. The firm describes itself as a "social news and entertainment company" with a focus on digital media and digital technology in order to provide "the most shareable breaking news, original reporting, entertainment, and video. Prepare yourself there's a lot of drinking and curse (I'm not a fan of that part but they sure are funny) on the show. Number five in the Huffington Post "11 Black Podcast leading the golden age of Audio", Oct 2015. I anticipate the weekly podcast shows and tell anybody that will listen about the ladies. Their topics range from African feminism, turning 90's sitcoms into musicals and men peacocking at the gym (who ever knew that could even be a thing?), and mangoes.

Most recently the ladies interviewed Melissa Harris-Perry an American writer, professor, television host and political commentator. Her show on MSNBC was cancelled after some controversy. Melissa came on the show to explain her side of her show's cancellation. I appreciated Heban and Tracy bringing Melissa on the show because if it was not for them I would have not heard about this incredibly smart, black woman and the awesome work she's doing at Wake Forest University.

I just started listening to the blog in Feb 2016 and I am hooked. I trying to remember how I initially heard about the blog but for the life of me I can't. The blog started just one year ago.

My favorite thus far is Episode 35: Heben and Tracy's Kwanzaa Spectacular. Listening to this really makes me wish I had found this blog earlier and could have attended. The ladies threw a pair of live shows in NYC. In the same format of their podcasts with a few surprises. We all know their are 7 Kwanzaa principals but friend of their show introduces 8 more HILARIOUS people!! I'm trying to tell. Here are a few of my favs.

• Boosee: A traditional request, usually shouted, to be wiped down by one's peers

• Mufasa: To selflessly sacrifice one's life for a child who is on some real bullsh*t

• Anibezjuwokee: The practice of being hit by- of being struck by- a smooth criminal

The interviewed a "Steve Harvey" (impersonator) HILARIOUS. Heban and Tracy sounds like they have been friends forever but The Guardian tells us that the duo met while working at Buzzfeed.
