The biggest news to rock the blerd community and Sterling and Kortney attempt to make some sort of sense of what happened with the tragedy of Universal FanCon and it’s aftermath including the crumbling of BGN (Black Girl Nerds) and it’s founder Jamie Broadnax. This fallout is still ongoing, but the community does and will continue to be strong as we support each other through all of this.

A couple articles to learn more about the FanCon fallout can be read here (written by Jazmine Joyner) and here (written by Clarkisha Kent).

Once again, Sterling’s mic is weird. Sorry. Special guest and host of Speak On It Podcast Neysha join Sterling and Kortney for another episode of regular shenanigans. Kortney’s favorite movie Jurassic World gets a sequel, where would a tie go on a giraffe’s neck, singing in the shower, the greatness that is Bessie Stringfield (and the movie/miniseries we want to see about her life) and what would happen if Beyonce and Lin Manuel Miranda ever met.

There’s a promo for a Kickstarter project called Wash Day that at the time of recording was halfway to its goal. At the time of publishing this episode, it’s at 108%! Still, support it if you can!

DISCLAIMER: Once again, audio issues plague the pod as Sterling attempts a new recording method. Please bear with us, we apologize for the cutting in and out. Also, we learned the odd scratching sound is Kortney’s necklace! 

As for the episode itself, special guest Clarkisha Kent joins the pod and talks about the Kent Test she created and if it would be a good idea to put chicken chunks in ice cream. And no, it would not. Our BHF is about Lorraine Hansberry, the first black woman to have her play on Broadway. Later, Sterling recounts fond memories of Toys R Us and how that connects to his last day working for Amazon. Also, do all three have baby faces? Is this a good thing? Find out!

Kortney and Sterling flip roles again in this episode. Sterling recaps the Oscars and announces the scores from the Oscar predictions from the last episode. The BHF for this episode is all about Madam CJ Walker. Later, Kortney and Sterling list off their favorite words, whether it’s the meaning or just words they like to say out loud but don’t get to use very often. What are some of your favorite words? How would you rate them in dollar amounts? 

Check out Sterling on Comics Bolt’s NERDSoul Sunday about time travel, a topic he’s nerdy about and undoubtedly discuss again on this podcast again…

BHF is about a little known engineer (or actress) Viola Davis… and Sterling K. Brown too. April also schools Sterling and Kortney on proper pizza reheating, chocolate for grown folks and some beautiful real-life inspiration and affirmation including how Twitter can change your life and the world.

Sterling and Kortney welcome special guest Jamie Broadnax of Black Girl Nerds to hang out and discuss how to avoid getting caught at work whilst working on true passions. Real questions get answered, such as what is the headpiece worn by Rocket, Gambit and Jean Grey and if Chip from Beauty and the Beast ever aged while he was a cup. This episode’s BHF is all about Frederick Bruce Thomas (read more about him here). Also, who would sing a tribute to Kortney? And with everything she’s doing, is Jamie even human?
