A Verry Patti Korner- Where My Background Singers?!?! (Patti LaBelle, Femphobia, Black Podcast, Sounding Gay, Barrack Obama, Hell Houses, Halloween, The White House, That’s So Raven, Jay Z vs. Kanye West, History of Trick o’ Treat)

Episode 54

4th November 2016

In the kornes first up it’s James posing the question: Do I sound gay?! Before you answer we investigate what does it mean to “sound gay” inspired by the documtary ‘Do I Sound Gay?’, along with what does it mean to be “straight acting” and who all these “straight acting” gays are truly at war with. Nnekay gives us the full low down on other Black Podcast that you should be listening to. When did Halloween become mainstream? Probably more recent than you think, and Nnekay is going to give us the history. James has another Quizlet Korner that is horrifying.
