Then Career Day is back! We're joined by esteemed artist and author Shawn Martinbrough, who'll teach us all about breaking into the comic book industry.

Hello, my dear Scorekeepers! Welcome to another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week, we take a journey into the deep dark recesses of Raven Symone's mind and examine some of the comments she made recently about Blackness (or anti-Blackness as it were) on her podcast. Spoiler alert: we don't find a whole lot that makes sense. Also, a round of Icebreakers that's sure to get us in trouble, Paige's adventures learning the art of shibari, and of course a little PBJ to take us out on a good note. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Howdy, Scorekeepers! To paraphrase the great Marie Kondo, we love mess! So for this week's episode, we're bringing you all the crazy little messy stories that have popped up on our algorithms this summer and talk about what they have to say about the state of our culture. The fake 49ers player, perhaps? Can we interest you in a bit of Duke PA scammer? Might I recommend some Patti Labelle's MAGA nephew? All these stories and more, plus a fun game of Icebreakers and a brief PBJ to lift your shady spirits! Let's do it to it, y'all!

Hello, gorgeous Scorekeepers! We're finally back from our hiatus! Did you miss us? Because we missed you. This week, we're back to our old shady ways. The Grammys recently announced a new category for "Best Asian Pop" and we (along with BTS) have thoughts and feelings about it. Feelings of segregation, perhaps? Feelings of colonization, perhaps? Tune in and maybe you'll feel the same. Plus, we catch up with what we all did on summer vacations, with a long detour in Project Runway, The Traitors, and RuPaul as we are often wont to do. Join us, won't you? Let's do it to it!

Hey there, Scorekeepers! We're back... for a minute at least. We just wanted to check in real quick and drop a proof of life before we duck back out for a little more vacation. This week, we catch up with a quick conversation about what we've been watching so far this summer before we dive into all the creative projects we've been working on. Rocky got a nice promotion at his day job. Paige took a restorative trip to Jamaica and is embarking on a very exciting masquerade project that will take them all over the African diaspora. And Dr. Bynum is working on a new opera called 90 Miles from Anywhere, which explores the fascinating history of Black migrant workers in Long Island, NY. And the best part is that you, dear listener, can help with both Lee and Paige's projects! So listen to the episode and then check out the links below if you want to get involved. Let's do it to it, y'all and we'll see you again in August!

We have a very special episode for you today, Classmates! Last April, as part of the Hear it Here Podcast Festival, we gathered at Lincoln Center's David Rubinstein Atrium to sit in the presence of music royalty! So please join us for an audience with Nona Hendryx, legendary singer/songwriter, technological innovator, and all-around wise and wonderful person. She'll talk to us about her long, illustrious career spent blurring the lines between genres and her brand new project, "The Dream Machine," which will debut this summer as part of Lincoln Center's Summer for the City. Later on in the conversation, we're joined by two young artists working with her on "The Dream Machine," Nia-Simone Egerton and Sophia Edwards, who chat about their experience making this larger-than-life project come to fruition. We're so excited to finally share this experience with all of you, so take your seats. Class in session! LIVE!!!
