HOLD THE LINE! The stock market drama is going crazy. I might’ve partaken in some of the madness. Oops.
The Reddit vs. Wall Street saga is now in the works with Netflix to make a movie. We’ve recommended the Marketplace podcast to give you that daily 5-minute update on their show. If you want an episode full of expletives, anger, agreements, and disagreements about the saga, here’s an episode from the All In podcast.
Website update: Our podcast page is finally coming together. If you visit a review, we now have a Listen Now button that will let you select which podcast player you want to open! You may think little things like these are easy, but I say nay nay.
Podcast update: Great Pods: The Podcast, Episode 2 is now live! A podcast that compliments the newsletter with recommendations from guests explaining why they liked an episode or podcast. Compared to the first episode, my intro/outro audio quality got considerably better. You can reply to this email if you have feedback.
This week we have Nashville Emmy-winner and on-air journalist star, Kelly Sutton! I met her back in Austin during TuneIn’s SXSW showcase. Her new project is Connected with Kelly on YouTube and delight as she interviews Nashville’s biggest stars. Listen to Kelly tell us what she picked at the top of this post and find the links for her recommendations below.
Also, I’m adding a new section called Hot Take. Where I give you my…hot take on anything. It’ll pop up once in a while at the end.
If you liked the newsletter or know someone who might enjoy it too, share it!
On to our picks this week…
Podcast: Black History Year
Publisher: Limina House, PushBlack
Genre: History
It’s Black History Month. As I was adding more critic reviews to the database I was reading this Vanity Fair article on Black-owned and run podcasts. Although we have been promoting Black podcasts regardless of month, we will be shining light on more during BHM.
This podcast recommended by Justine Goode is a good podcast if you want a straight conversation on history and economics. There’s no fluff needed. I have listened to the episode on Black Cooperative Economics and how that works.
"Featuring interviews with experts, Black History Year provides crisp historical storytelling and analysis, animated by host Jay Walker’s excellent narration."

Honorable Mention
Podcast: Sway
Episode: Killer Mike
Publisher: NY Times
Genre: Society
The episode on co-op’s reminded me of the episode on Sway, with well-known tech reporter Kara Swisher. She interviewed Killer Mike (Run The Jewels) on his activism and his investment in Black businesses. I enjoyed this episode as well.
Kelly Sutton’s Podcast Picks:
Podcast: The Jasmine Star Show Podcast
Publisher: Jasmine Star
Genre: Entrepreneurship
Podcast: The Country Music Media Podcast

Podcast: New Books In Language
Publisher: New Books Network
If you ever wanted to deep-dive into languages and their origins especially with those who study them, this podcast is worth the listen.
Listener Edward G. said, “This episode taught me a lot about Sanskrit and the challenges of teaching a language that isn't spoken very widely today. I loved the anecdotes about the Sanskrit's unique verb tenses.”
Breaking Podcast News:
Joe Budden, former rapper and current podcaster, has now moved his network to Patreon after a much-publicized spat with Spotify. He will be joining the team as Head of Creator Equity too. More info.
Hot Take w/ Captain Ron
Fresh. Raw. Honest thoughts. That’s my hot take on anything. Not as dramatic as you would think, but possibly controversial.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch creamer. Do it.
That’s my hot take.
One more thing - This lady used Gorilla Glue to style her hair. The bigger story, Gorilla Glue comes in a spray can?! 🤣🤣🤣 GET OUT!
