2 Podcasts Based on 90's Black TV Shows Hosted by The Actors Themselves

There is a new trend where cast members of 90's TV shows join together, re-watch episodes of their shows, provide commentary, and sometimes share secrets! Check out two podcasts based on 90's Black TV Shows!

1. ReLiving Single

ReLiving Single is a YouTube podcast hosted by actresses Erika Alexander and Kim Coles where the castmates along with their guests re-watch episodes of the hit show Living Single (1993-1998) and react to them. Erika Alexander played the character Max, and Kim Coles played the funny, quirky character, Sinclair on the show. Some of the special guests included Yvette Lee Bowser, TC Carson (Kyle Barker), Queen Latifah (Khadijah James), Chip Hurd (LaVerne Hunter), and more.

2. Welcome to the Family

2. Welcome to the Family is a podcast based on the TV show Family Matters (1989-1998) on iHeartPodcasts hosted by Kellie Shanygne Williams (Laura Winslow) and Telma Hopkins (Aunt Rachel). Some of the special guests on the show include Darrius McCrary (Eddie Winslow) and Shawn Harrison (Waldo Faldo). In one episode, Hopkins shared that she was sent to the hospital after filming!

My 2 Cents

I'm loving this trend with 90's Black TV show podcasts hosted by the actual people involved in the shows. Other examples of podcasts hosted by the actors include Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald based on the Scrubs TV Show with Donald Faison and Zach Braff. There are certain 90's shows and episodes that I would like to just remember as they are. Sometimes, if there are any messy or sad incidents behind the scenes, I find myself skipping past those parts in the podcasts. There is real nostalgia associated with those shows, and sometimes I just want to leave it at that. Can you relate?

What other Black 90's TV Shows would you like to see host their own podcast?

My Interview with Lisa Arrindell Anderson on Her Natural Hair

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category. The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
