Your Fave Couple Almost Didn't Make It

Unbelievable though it may be this example of Black Love had a moment where it didn't seem like we would be moving forward. It was around the time of our 13th year of wedded bliss. We just couldn't keep it together. And we were really petty with our disagreements. So take a listen in as we discuss how we got to the other side. We also pay tribute to our Uncle Pouncy who was a Tuskegee Airmen that passed away at the end of the year. Want to hear more about this great man.

We're Back, Again!!

Two weeks ago, you heard Paul talk about his book Vignettes From A South Central Son, Part 1. If you missed that episode, go back and give it a listen—and be sure to grab a copy of the book. It’s a great story you won’t want to miss. This week, Paul and Ellyn are back and catching up after their extended break, sharing where they’ve been and what’s been going on. They also kick things off with a hard-hitting Mock Minute about Finland banning cell phones in schools. Of course, the Mock Minute doesn’t stay a minute for long—it turns into a much bigger conversation. Want the full, uncut discussion? We’ve launched our Patreon so you can hear the entire extended Mock Minute and more.
