  • Democracy is dying

    Avid listener. I can honestly say that the episode with Terrance was spot on! This is the conversation we need to be having!! I wish I could say more but due to other circumstances, I will stay brief. Please keep following the train and help us move this conversation forward and more mainstream.

  • “Democrats Want a Fighter…” episode

    Respectfully, democrats do not want a fighter. That was evident in Texas US Senate primary when Talarico beat US House Representative Crockett. Democrats benefit from narratives of inclusivity but in PRACTICE that is a different story! They do not practice what they preach on various levels. But we’re not ready to have THAT conversation, are we? Love y’all! 🫶🏾🌞

  • Symone and Eugene

    For the love of black banter. I’m white but I love listening to and watching Symone and Eugene. I learn so much from their point of view. I have noticed that “Clock It” is not as frequent as a couple months ago. What I’ve also noticed is more YouTube episodes. I’m afraid that I’m still attached to my podcasts and not YouTube. Please don’t stop “Clock It” podcasts. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Trump gets Booed…Loudly, and Graham Platner Tries to Redeem Himself
Q: What do Maine voters think about Graham Platner and the broader race against Susan Collins?
Voters appear engaged and willing to overlook certain accusations if the candidate can win and advance policy goals, though concerns remain about his past conduct.
Corruption, Cancel Culture, and the Death of the Comedy Roast
Q: Why does the industry allow controversial material to linger after public backlash?
The discussion points to a combination of audience appetite, algorithmic monoculture, and financial incentives; backlash does not always derail a career, especially when controversy drives engagement and a platform-wide ecosystem promotes sensational coverage.
Corruption, Cancel Culture, and the Death of the Comedy Roast
Q: Comedy should be political, right? Is there a line where humor stops serving social critique?
Bell believes comedy has a long history of social critique, but he cautions that the line is nuanced—humor can illuminate injustice while also potentially normalizing harm; the best approach is thoughtful accountability and context.
Does Nikole Hannah-Jones Have Hope?
Q: Nikole, how do you think that helps to tell the story of where this administration is going moving forward when it comes to the culture and politics?
The trajectory depends on whether the rhetoric translates into policy and a broader cultural understanding of inclusion, with attention to how historical narratives shape current political choices and public perception.
Don’t Calm Down, with Maxwell Alejandro Frost
Q: What do you think about kind of Chuck Schumer? Can Chuck Schumer lead this fight to get health care affordability?
Frost acknowledges disappointment with the Senate's actions and indicates a need for new leadership as candidates are already campaigning on healthcare issues.
