The VSB Files — Episode 004: It’s The Return

Join the Very Smart Brothas (and Liz) as they return from the hiatus of a lifetime and dive headfirst into the nonsense that is the current Elin-Tiger Woods debacle and answer a bunch of the formspring questions that The Champ has let pile up. Are you ready? Tevin Campbell asked but nobody ever answered. It’s time to answer, people.

We’re back, b*tches

Back for the first time and here to stay. (You know, assuming everything goes smoothly, which it most certainly never does.)

Valentine’s Day Triple Threat + Cupid’s Hunt

Hey VSB Fam,

We decided that since we are the leaders in this online love blogging game, we would hit you up with a special triple header for the official Holiday of Love.

Not only do you get Panama’s post for today, but you also get the Champ weighing in on such an important day for all you love birds. Yes, Valentine’s Day is worth a post from each of them. It’s like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below except after this, they won’t break up and pretend to still like one another.  Make sure you scroll down and peep both of their posts.

But that’s not all!! Continue reading

The VSB Files — Episode 003: Black Woman Down? A Conversation with Helena Andrews

Hey young world. Today we bring you a discussion with the woman that seemingly launched a thousand ships with a Washington Post profile article that made it to the far reaches of Negronia and beyond. Helena Andrews (aka Big H, as we affectionately call her), author of the forthcoming book Bitch Is The New Black, has been the subject of many a blog post and article in the past few weeks (including here at VSB) and we figured that we’d reach out to her and see if she’d be willing to chat with us. Lo and behold, she accepted our offer and what followed was a long, yet interesting discussion about the WaPo article and her characterization in it, dating in the urban professional community, East vs. West Coast rap debate, Tyler Perry, and ultimately her book and what it intends to bring to the table.

Enjoy.

Podcast Notes: This was taped in December before Christmas so all references to last week are to December. Also, because Panama decided to participate while out Christmas shopping, there are some minor spots of sound distortion and he sounds like a doof. Forgive him people for he knows not what he thinks half the time.
