This time she brought her friend Morgan Potts who performed during the Women in Radio fundraiser, both of them did an excellent job despite the general disarray and calamity within the bar. This week we were able to have calmer discussions about their work and what they had prepared. There were talks of dreams, coincidence, waitress culture, and more. Let's not forget that we had special guest host stand in Sumerth providing fresh and semi-profound insights. A very special episode, check it out!

Crows & Pawns Top 3 Anime (movies) II
Dec 17, 2018Tap to summarizeNerds, assemble! Let your geek flag fly, I say. Prose & Cons is cool and all, but how would you like to be transported to a world where anime is the sole source of entertainment? Where hentai, fan service, and camera angles are praised and condemned in the same sentence? Where whimsical tangents frequently derail the conversation and quickly devolve into uncontrollable fits of giggling? Fear not, child: you have arrived.

Crows & Pawns – Top 3 Anime! (movies) pt.1
Nov 21, 2018Tap to summarizeWho loves anime? Nerds love anime! And yeeeees, we are giant nerds. Although, to clarify, Dom, Douglass, and I are not the cool kind of nerd that has come into vogue in recent years (you kids don't know how good you have it!), we're slightly grown up versions of our even-more-awkward pimply tween selves who hid our manga collection and anime addiction from our cooler "friends." Dom, Douglass, and I are still the raging dorks we once were, and that is something worth celebrating!

Tiffany Jana & Ashley Diaz Mejias
Nov 19, 2018Tap to summarizeThis book offers inspired clarity on a topic that makes many of us uncomfortable just to think about, let alone try to solve. Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day! (That doesn't have anything to do with institutional bias but I just thought I'd pepper in 1-2 historical fun facts.) Enacting real change in the world of systemic prejudice takes a constant intentional effort. That may be why so many lame-o CEOs are too reticent to try! Or maybe it's because they're reaping the rewards from a corporate structure that's been actively designed to benefit them? Who knows!

Mickael Broth – Murals of Richmond
Nov 12, 2018Tap to summarizeHere's a tidbit of info you might not know: there's a bleep-ton of murals in our fair city! There are many of them, and they are awesome. Now, FOR THE FIRST TIME, a collection of these murals has been curated by one of Richmond's most celebrated muralists, the Night Owl (aka Mickael Broth). Dom and I sat down with Mr. Owl to chat about how he started off as a lad, tagging walls, and the unjust consequences he ultimately faced. We even touch on the US prison industrial complex! Oh yeah, we also talk about murals. It's mostly about murals.
