Best Decade to Grow Up? – #BLAKADEMIK

By

S02E13: In about a year & a half, we will be leaving the 2010s. A decade full of so many highs and lows. So we ask; What decade was the best?. The 70’s, 80’s, 90’s? Maybe even the noughties.
The guests take a deep dive; touching on the music, politics, lifestyles and so on.
What happened across these eras and what impact has each had on us?

Black Men & Porn

By

S03E02: Porn; described by Wikipedia as “the portrayal of sexual subjects for the purpose of sexual arousal”.
You have either watched it, seen an image or heard about it; the multi billion industry has been a staple part of society from before the camera was created. Technically a form of entertainment; the industry has had its ups and downs.
But we ask; does consuming porn affect us… Especially Black men?

This week, we are joined by Dru (Porn Actor) & Sarah (Sex Educator) to discuss the effects of watching pornography.
