When we found out Los Angeles wasn't hosting any awards shows when we'd be in town (rude), we decided to throw our own - enter, "The Sauce Awards," where we celebrate renaissance woman Quinta Brunson, internet hero Victor Pope Jr., and the one and only Amber Rose!  Quinta talks about her collaboration with Shondaland in the age of Trump, Victor reveals the inspiration for his use of props on Vine, and Amber talks SlutWalk, feminism, ovulation apps, and more...

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Week, we celebrate nature and the rejuvenating qualities of going outside.  Writer Rahawa Haile talks to us about hiking the Appalachian Trail (yup, the whole damn thing) and Kelvin Peña aka Brother Nature himself describes the origins of his YouTube-famous Deer Squad.  Plus, Tracy's mom Velva stops by the stude to tell us about an infamous family fishing trip...

This week, Brittany Luse and Eric Eddings of the Gimlet podcast, The Nod, join us for a spirited PewPewPew session.  Brittany comes clean about her longtime use of transitions lenses, Eric explains whether or not casseroles are "good for the blacks," and we all celebrate the literary genius that is Zane.

On this week's episode, we bring you our first international live show ever!  We went to London for the Shout Out Live Podcast Festival where we sang the praises of British television (namely Tracy's newfound favorite show, "Embarrassing Bodies").   Then we chatted with writer Bolu Babalola about the beauty of creating dark-skinned black women characters in her stories, and actor Susan Wokoma (of "Chewing Gum" and "Crazyhead") on why she loathes being described as an overnight success...

We chat with Desus about misunderstood Twitter jokes, the wedding episode of A Different World, and Richard Wright.

This week we bring you some bonus material celebrating over 100 episodes of Another Round!  First, our fabulous Production Fellows aka Fellies, Agerenesh Ashagre and Alex Laughlin, surprise us with some listener stories.  Then we share with you a special edition of PewPewPew, featuring...you guessed it...us!  And keep listening till the end if you want to hear the evolution of a very integral part of the show.....

This week we celebrate our 101nst episode!  That's right, the 101nst.  Having made over 100 episodes, we wanted to take some time to reflect on where we've been, what we've learned, and how our airhorn noises have improved (tremendously).  Join us as we interview some very special guests (their names rhyme with Shmeben and Shmacy), and share with you some of our favorite moments from the show...

This week, we're bringing you our wide-ranging conversation with the one and only LeVar Burton.  He tells us the life lesson he learned from Dr. Maya Angelou while working on Roots, what he wishes he could say to Star Trek writers about his character Geordi La Forge, and how his love of reading led him to Reading Rainbow in the past, and his new podcast Levar Burton Reads in the present.  Be forewarned: he just might scandalize you when he reveals his hidden talent...
