I can never have enough black people in my life, which is why I regularly listen to one of my fave podcasts in the world, The Read. Hosted by Kid Fury (a gay black man) and Crissle (a black lesbian), The Read is a weekly dose of everything associated with black culture: entertainment, music, television, news, and more, and it's all liberally ladled with a hilarious amount of smarts and sass. Hearing their perspective every week has done wonders for my perspective, and I give it my highest recommendation. Dig into 'em here.

That being said, if you're even a casual fan of Beyonce, YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS WEEK'S EDITION, titled "BEYmergency: Formation." Longtime listeners know that Kid and Chrissie are HUGE fans of Queen Bey—but after last weekend's drop of her new video "Formation," AND her Super Bowl performance, AND announcement of a world tour? THEY WENT AND LOST THEIR DAMN MINDS. Both have been known to get excited/pissed about various situations, but this time, they go absolutely apoplectic—and are SO excited, they actually get angry over the control Beyonce has over their lives. The result is an hour of absolute hilarity that's super sweet, and casts a smart light on the black experience. So do yourself a favor, and CHECK IT THE FUCK OUT. Queen Beyonce 4-EVAH!!
