Still Processing
Hosted by Wesley Morris and Jenna Wortham, they do a 360 dive into every part of the culture. Not only pop culture meaning television, film, books, music, but also the culture associated with work, dating, Blue Ivy's internet and how those fit together.
Unpack N Bounce Back
Hosted by author Reyna Biddy and actress Skye Townsend, this podcast is all about healing from within.

3 Black Guys With a Mic
The all-male led podcast breaks down culture, music, politics and more through knowledge, humor and barbershop-level honesty. If you're ready for honest talk on Maya Angelou, J. Cole, 'high value men,' strippers and healthcare, get into this.

Okay, Now Listen

The Read
Hosted by Kid Fury and Crissle, this is the place where pop culture gets dissected and when necessary, read for filth. Whether they're stanning Beyoncé and Missy Elliott or dragging terrible politicians and other public figures, nobody who is in the wrong is off limits. Not to mention, the occasionally messy Listener Letters segment allows them to provide sound advice... most times.
Jesus & Jollof
Hosted by Insecure star, Yvonne Orji and author Luvvie Ajayi-Jones —two proudly Nigerian women— this hilariously honest podcast discusses "things they love, their stories, and life in general." If you're asking yourself, "why 'Jesus and Jollof?' Those are the two things they cannot do without. Besides, the other option was '2 Goat Queens.'"
Strong Black Legends
The podcast spinoff from Netflix's Strong Black Lead and hosted by Tracy Clayton, honors some of Black Hollywood's biggest legends. Each icon gets candid about their journey and Clayton gives flowers to a person/place/thing important to Black culture.
Drink Champs
Hosted by N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Drink Champs is described as the "most professional, unprofessional podcast." Drinking aside, they allow their guests—who've ranged from the late DMX to Fat Joe to Cam'ron— to just have an raw conversation about any topic under the sun. From sports to music, it's all here.
