Well it's time to get into it, folks! It's time (as always) to battle lower tier sentiment and sensibilities on Afronerd Radio, this Sunday at 7pm eastern.

So log on to afronerdradio.com and call us up live at-646-915-9620 or contact us via email/IM at-afronerdradio@yahoo.com! And in the immortal words of Bruce Wayne-"Criminals (or progressives of various tiers) are a superstitious, cowardly lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible... a... a... a bat!(or an educated, well spoken Conservative person of color)"

Hey Folks! As you know, since everyone and their grandmother is going to to be glued to their respective 3D flat screens looking at Super Bowl XLV, we decided that it might be prudent to air The Afronerd Featuring Captain Kirk Show (aka Afronerd Radio) this Saturday at 7pm eastern.

(we're just asking) and lastly, it looks like President Mubarak and his administration are resigning but now the question remains-what's (or rather, who's) next?
