THE LUCKY TEN THOUSAND SEASON 4 Ep 4: PHYLLIS WHEATLEY w/BRIAN REEDER!!
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
Where we discuss the life and poetry of the first African American female published poet, Phyllis Wheatley. Her prose is gorgeous, her life is conflict in art defined. With guest Brian Reeder, we also get into one of the most frank discussions of race ever in the history of the show. Miss Wheatley was a poet while still a slave, and her work always seemed to be grateful for the life that she lived. This contradiction makes her fascinating and important, if a little difficult to wrap our minds around.. but we try.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 15: NERD RAGE! Trolls, Haters, and Bad Fanboys

This week we take on the worst of us: the trolls, haters, and insufferable fanboys who make life both on and off the internet more taxing and troublesome than it needs to be. We basically cover everyone from racist YouTube commenters to hardcore MMO raiders, forum trolls to PC/Console MasterRace believers, and pseudo-anonymous assholes to socially awkward sexists.
It's a little less RAGE-y than our previous few, but probably more important, as this one actually has a lesson to wrap it all up.
Congratulations again to wikishuffle for their win at the UK Podcasters Awards!
