I like “NOVAScienceNOW,” even though I’m not hosting it. Believe me, that’s high praise. It’s clear we’re in the Golden Age of the Magazine—the BROADCAST magazine. I’m happy that I can listen to three national Black(ish) radio newsmagazines in a week, watch the NOVA spinoff show every summer and check out what the brother’s doing on […]
Okay. A work of satire. I get it. Confront the enemy directly, blah, blah, blah…….. But boy, some folks are really upset! I got a relative who wants to [CENSORED] The New Yorker building!
The news media pretend it’s hard to tell a deliberate slam from a sham these days. For instance, The Reverend Nutslicer. Does […]
Was in bed the other night with the love of my life—Rolling Stone magazine —and all I gotta say is this: Boy, it’s clearly good to be the King. RS Publisher Jann Wenner does a puff-piece Q+A, and then commissions a sidebar all about how Obama’s people are impressive because they actually wield power […]
When I heard this (level of) review, I put “Wall-E” on the to-see list. So yesterday I went, and saw no exaggeration.
Another home run for the 3-D gang. It’s hard to explain the amount of, and quality of, visual storytelling in this film. The characters fit like parts of a symphony separate and attached to the music. As usual […]
See. Hancock. Fun-nee! LOL!
P.S. Can’t believe the critics are dogging it so badly!
P.P.S. The movie brings a whole new meaning to a certain idea popularized by Michael Eric Dyson.
I was very inspired by this one story. I guess most radio folks see themselves in this way, in this man.
………there’s NOTHING like when ALL your favorite shows cross-over, especially for the first time EVER! In this case, “Torchwood” and “The Sarah Jane Adventures,” with (storylines from all four seasons!) of the revived “Doctor Who!” WOO-WOO!
The following book review was originally published in the May/June 2007 issue of The Crisis magazine, right before the 40th anniversary of the Newark Rebellion. This was the last article my great friend and mentor, Judy Dothard Simmons, helped me with before she became an Ancestor. I miss her. Much thanks also to Phil Petrie, who was Acting Editor-in-Chief of The Crisis […]
The kind of conversation I love. The artist talks about his life and his art. Damn.

Okay, it’s official: “Bill Moyers Journal” is my favorite honorary Black public affairs program. If Tony Brown wasn’t semi-retired, I guess he’d be worried! LOL!
