Best of Minority Korner Frankenstein Style (Queer History, Tiger Mandingo, Slave Tetris, Bees/Birth/Bears, Greta Garbo, KKK, Latino History, Luke Cage,Janet Jackson)

Episode notes

Due to some personal tragedy and trauma, we don’t have a full NEW episode but we have Frankenstein’d the FUCK out of our old one’s for our “Greatest Hits”! But first Nnekay has designed our first ever Minority Korner Syllabus giving you some fresh reads this week on Queer History, Latino History, and most importantly… Marvel’s Luke Cage! For those who’ve listened to segments from parts of past episodes (although why not just listen to the whole damn thing) we’ve broken down the times for each segment.

11:45- From Episode 6, We crack the case on the infamous “mandingo” that was supposedly terrorizing a university, and uncover the real villain in a case of a population being infected with HIV, and the stigma that HIV positive folks still face today, sometimes even legally.

34:40, From Episode 13, ‘Slave Tetris’. Slave Trade the video game exists… and the creator is hell bent on trying to convince you this game is a great idea and necessary.

48:05, From Episode 6, Our favorite Quizlet Korner about Joe Biden, and most importantly Gretta Garbo and some crazy shit that had Nnekay in amazement. It doesn’t take Scooby Doo to uncover the mystery of Nosfaratu, just Nnekay.

53:30, From Episode 5, The gloves are off as Nnekay and James come head to head over a glass (or two) of wine, and Nikola Tesla.

1:03:15, From Episode 4, A woman has a very unlucky day, pregnant, lost in the woods, surrounded by bees, and may have started a fire… she’s a regular Amelia Bedelia.

1:08:03, From Episode 4, Grand Dragons, The KKK, McSkat Kat

1:15:38, From Episode 4, Extra Chat Korner
