Special - International Women's Day 2019

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2019/03/08

This episode of "What's Good?" is a very special one and a very different episode from the normNo topics, not an hour of me talking about 3-4 topics. Instead, we focus on one particular topic. This episode drops on Friday 8th March, which is International Women's Day.Notice how I said, "we". Because for the first time on "What's Good", (The Podcast) I have called upon some friends to help me celebrate this day. I called out to several women, asked them to participate by answering two

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2019/02/28

Awards SZN is over for another year. Capped off, as always, with The Academy Awards.And as you can see by the title. It would seem I would be angry about it all.

Ep.14 - BRITs, 'Sportswashing' & Jussie Smollett

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2019/02/22

It's been a long week for me personally, went to London for three days, the wallet is malnourished, but I still got your weekly dose of "What's Good?"Beginning with the Music segment, The BRIT Awards (1:58) which is probably the deadest Awards show in nearly every way from how I see it. Hosting is pound-for-pound the worst, rarely any upsets and when there are upsets, they make no sense.We then move swiftly onto Sports (10:51) which is all about the fresh conversation of 'Sportswashing'

Ep.13 - BAFTAs & Grammys... Predictable

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2019/02/14

The two most predictable Award ceremonies have been & gone. Predictable, but for different reasons.We begin the show with The BAFTAs (2:08) which is predictable for hailing British films (As they should) but to the point where it was a bit too much. You will hear "The Favourite" a lot...I also talk about the severe lack of giving screenwriters credit, something I hope to eradicate when I make it to that level .Then we get to the Grammys (19:38) which is predictable for its glaring lack

Scratch that.For the Sports segment, (9:45) I talk about the SuperBowl that was trash everywhere you look. The slow death continues.For the Music segment, (15:48) 21 Savage is legally British.

Ep.6 - Reflection

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2018/12/27

Recorded on Christmas Day, I thought I'd keep it loose and base a majority of the episode on reflecting. Reflecting on the Year 2018. But first, it was time for the Film/TV segment (4:00) where I talk about the resurfacing of a clip from 2011 HBO special "Talking Funny" wherein the clip in question. Comedians Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock & Louis CK talk about the N-Word. Sounds harmless until Gervais & CK actually utter the word & Rock doesn't check them on it.For

Ep.2 - Setting The Record Straight

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2018/11/29

Episode 2 of "What's Good?" is all about setting records straight.For the "Music" section (1:14) we talk about Soulja Boy (Yes, you're still in 2018) and Drake.

More specifically, their efforts to enter the Oscar race.The "Sport" section (24:46) is all about Formula 1

Ep.1 - The Intro

"What"s Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor ·

2018/11/23

For the first ever episode of the rebooted Podcast version of "What's Good?", I wanted to introduce the show itself and what it is all about. While doing so, I also wanted to give a little background of myself.Admittedly, I recorded this out of impatience & simply wanting to get something recorded. So this is a very loose episode structurally. But I hope you enjoy & join the journey from here on in.If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing
