    What up fam. Yall heard the new podcast from Issa Rae? It's about an NFL player struggling with his sexual identity within the hyper heteronormative realm of sports. The episodes are about 15-20 minutes each. I heard the first three episodes through a Soundcloud link. There's supposed to be 10 in total released every week. If you want to hear the full series, you gotta subscribe to Howl.FM. Here's the first three episodes. Would be tight to hear what everybody thinks...

    Episode 1:


    Episode 2:


    Episode 3:

    ...but this thread with all the links in the opening post is cool. I preferred episodes 1 and 3 because they focused more on his internal dialogue, but the development of the female agent in 2 may be needed for later. The episode 4 preview is promising.

    They say 4 is the last one that will be freely released outside of Howl Premium.

    Oh okay, I got it now. Yes, I also liked 1 & 3-but probably would lean towards episode 1.

    lol it's cool. I was joking. I don't expect people to find some random older post when wanting to discuss something.

    Also, I found the conclusion unsatisfying, especially considering that there's no confirmation that there will be any followup.

    Yeah. The conclusion was wack. Maybe they'll do a second season.

    I listened to all the episodes and I really enjoyed it. I hope she does a second season. It's too bad though, I would actually like to see this as a tv show or an online web series.
