No Stupid Questions Show

JAG and TLeake take history and present to task and discuss the evolution (or devolution?) of the 2-party system in America.  Are we better or worse off?  Is there any alternative?  Listen in and, as always, join the conversation.

Speaking of America and 'trash', JAG and TLeake review "Coming 2 America" (the sequel to Coming to America), and it's potential and opportunity.  Listen in, and tell us if you've seen it and your thoughts, or if you plan to see it or skip it and why.

Bigger is better in capitalism, right?  Listen to JAG and TLeake debate whether Amazon represents good or bad capitalism (or does it just make you smile)?  As JAG and TLeake contemplate weaning themselves off Amazon, is its success and enormity “ALL GOOD” for our community?

Hearkening back to their elementary school Black History Month programs, JAG and TLeake play with a unique format for the No Stupid Questions Show called "Did you know...?" where they tag team favorite Black history gems. (One is even COVID related.)  Listen and see if your Black History knowledge can go toe to toe with theirs.  Tap in and drop some knowledge you think we should all know via comment or email at nostupidquestionshow@gmail.com
