In today’s release, The Black Lotus celebrates reaching episode 50. This episode was just a stream of consciousness as they bounced around a lot of different topics. First, we started off with Star Wars and how the politics tie into the real world, and then of course we had to talk about the black community. From that we went into a conversation about what’s been going on in our lives, and about the rise of black male podcasts in this current social climate, why people bash them, and most importantly, why they are so critical to the future of black men. And we want to give special thanks to those who have stuck with us through 50 episodes, every single listen means a lot to us, and we’re glad we can give quality content. Thank you for it all, this is just the beginning. We hope you guys enjoy this episode!
