In a day and age where more Black people are studying the craft, it's time to address why there are not enough Black media members who can relate to the athletes of today.</p> <p><br></p> <p><u><strong>Apple:</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BGBW1AP"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BGBW1AP</strong></u></a></p> <p><u><strong>Spotify</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BGBWSP1"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BGBWSP1</strong></u></a></p> <p><u><strong>Anchor</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BGBWAnchor"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BGBWAnchor</strong></u></a></p> <p><u><strong>iHeart Radio</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BWPIHR"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BWPIHR</strong></u></a></p> <p><u><strong>Google</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BGBWGP"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BGBWGP</strong></u></a></p> <p><u><strong>Pandora</strong></u><a href="http://bit.ly/BGBWPandora"><u><strong> http://bit.ly/BGBWPandora</strong></u></a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brianhwaters/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/brianhwaters/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/brianhwaters/support</a>
