Details

Black pop culture and unspoken rules? Original music across a variety of genres? And episodic adventures? Executive Produced by Courtney Marie Simpson and Donnell 'D Weezy' Robinson, TWENTYONE 21 is a sci-fi comedy narrative fiction podcast that follows Cici and Funks: two friends, co-workers, and roommates who share the same birthday and believe that they'll unlock mystical, melanated powers on 12/21 (or at least that's what Cici read on "Black Twitter"). Audio editing by Keith Davenport of Studio Next Door. Connect on social media @TwentyOne21Podcast!
