Who's Gonna Be There?

Generational BEEF

A Baby Boomer, Gen Xer, Millennial, and Gen Zer walk into a…ring. Well, you can guess how that goes. Join our hosts for deep dive into the second season of Netflix’s hit series, BEEF. Blake and Kashif examine character motivations, wealth inequality, the healthcare system and more. Later, an intergenerational panel takes on some of the themes explored in the show. Who is really to blame for our current economic and political situation? Are Gen Zers returning to a type of traditionalism usually associated with Boomers? Beyond the middle and side part divide, the generations try to find common ground.

DJ Afrosheen Thinks DJs are Sociologists

On this episode of Who’s Gonna Be There?, Blake and Kashif sit down with DJ Afrosheen [https://www.instagram.com/afro.sheen/], one of the hottest DJs of the queer South, and a name you might recognize from Bonnaroo, SXSW, or opening for Jill Scott. The trio talk about Afrosheen’s journey from studying dance to curating the music for queer people to dance to, and Afrosheen’s commitment to ensuring that everyone (especially Black folks) feel safe in queer spaces.
