"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a stacked show with only three topics, I dive right into the first segment. 

For the Sports segment, (2:16) The IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) has won a landmark case against 800m specialist Caster Semenya. This means that if Semenya wants to race professionally over distances between 400m & Mile, (the distances she specialises in...) she will be forced to take (very harmful) drugs that will lower her testosterone levels. 

This is discriminatory and a witch hunt against one particular person. This story is far from over.

In the Life segment, (16:36) groundbreaking writer & director John Singleton has died at the age of 51. His movies such as "Boyz N The Hood", "Poetic Justice" & "Higher Learning" are set in stone as trail-blazers in African-American cinema. But Singleton didn't stop there. Producing both in Film & Television, helping other black writers, actors & directors find their platforms & voices. He & Spike Lee CARRIED the 90's and he'll be immortalised by his filmography and the people he put on.

In the Film & TV segment, (30:21) I'm giving you guys something special. I saw Avengers: Endgame a few days ago with my best friend David and we were so hyped before, during and after the film that I proposed that we record our thoughts. So 10 minutes after leaving the cinema, we found a place to sit down and talk it over. It's super informal and ALL over the place. Enjoy.
