About this listen

Prepare to navigate the intricate web of black representation in media, as Nick Luggett and Tim lay bare the forces shaping the images and stories we consume. This episode promises a deep exploration into the portrayal of black individuals in the music industry and sports, dissecting how narrow depictions in rap music and the absence of black voices in arenas like baseball are affecting our culture and youth. We expose the challenges that come with being a black artist or athlete in today's society, and the profound impact that movements like Black Lives Matter have had in amplifying - or silencing - their voices.

As your hosts, we stand at the intersection of media influence and community empowerment, questioning the biases that skew the narrative surrounding black achievement and creativity. We shine a light on the uphill climb that black content creators face on social media, wrestling with algorithmic biases that often overshadow their positive contributions. In a world where the media's focus can skew negatively, we underscore the importance of championing stories of black excellence. Join us for an unflinching conversation that seeks to ignite change and recognize the importance of the black community in shaping its own narrative.
