ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 19 of the Breaking the Barrier Podcast available now on Apple, SoundCloud, and Spotify!! Special guest alert! TAJ’s brother, Patrick Cruz flew in from L.A. and was able to join us for Episodes 19 and 20!
Heads-up: there are some SPOILERS on Avengers: Endgame, so if you are still trying to avoid them (y’all had 2 weeks though…), just skip 5:00 – 23:06. The three of us are fans, so we had to talk about this.
Episode 19 topics: Avengers: Endgame recap, Marvel’s longtime push for diversity, the NY Giants drafting a white quarterback (are people reading into this too much?), exploiting black culture, would the world be a better place without the Kardashians?
Stay tuned for Episode 20, dropping soon! During Episode 20, they'll get into Showtime’s The Chi, have a conversation about the complexity of gentrification, the potential negatives of Amazon setting up shop in your city, how cost and time play a factor in a person’s health, separating the art from the artist (is this possible today, or do Kanye’s actions factor into your desire to listen to his music?), and more!
