“Marina and her guests share interesting and insightful discussions that feel personal in the best sense, but are not navel-gazing (unlike many comedians, who seem to just want to talk about themselves without having much to say). Marina is a great host, providing her thoughtful, funny commentary...”Read full review »

“This review is long overdue. Marina and her guests keep me informed and entertained. I have learned about so many comics. Marina hasn’t had a “Keisha” moment in awhile but her “Karen” moments are just as funny. This podcast is just a feel good podcast. Thanks Marina.”

“I do not agree with what was said about blackness being a 1st generation American and parents being from Kenyan does not mean I am not considered an African American. So does that mean I have not had struggles of other African Americans here no I have base it on experiences not we’re our parents...”Read full review »

“100. 10/10. Would recommend. It is uncensored, so just a note, but listening to Marina Franklin and her thoughtful gathering of friends each week has been a reprieve and a highly important refuge for me this summer. As a white woman, working from home, in a pandemic, and mostly in communication...”Read full review »

“I’ve followed this show for years. It’s amazing to see a person evolve and that’s what happens with the host, Marina Franklin. She goes from dating white men exclusively (and doing their devil’s advocate stuff) to limiting herself to woke whites only. No matter politics, she is HILARIOUS!! My...”Read full review »

“I love the news and women of color are not represented. These comedians bring intelligent dialogue and further a cultural narrative our generation needs. I’ve been making conscious decisions to support podcasts featuring women of color to help these voices be heard. Thanks for keeping it real!”

men on a monthly basis :) the hot topics are very topical, and the respect between the

Funny insights - sometimes topics aren’t well researched, and factual errors are overlooked. I think the show would improve with a little bit more time spent learning about topics discussed...
Also, the gentleman on the show today was a terrible guest - very defensive, and said...”Read full review »
