J's Lunch Counter

Episode 30 is the show that brings 2016 to a close.   In this special two-part show, I am joined by my close friends Junis Baldon, Albert Shumake aka DJ Always, and introducing to the show, Jared "J Dub" Williams.   On Part One, we take a look at some of the best, worst, and most memorable moments of 2016 beginning with what felt like an unprecedented amount of celebrity deaths, some of which will carry lasting implications.   We look at the vacuum created by the death of Ali, and how 2016 saw a new generation of athletes from Lebron James to Colin Kaepernick have  begun to speak out on issues of social justice.   We spend a good portion of the show trying to answer the question - "What happened to Kanye?"  We also explore the year in music, the best albums of the year, why none of us were high on Beyonce this year, and why Chance The Rapper has become so important to the world of Hip-Hop.   I say this a lot, but this was definitely one of the most enjoyable shows to create, and I know you will enjoy it!
