    Face Crack! I Thought You Were Black! This week, Josh and Tracy revisit musical white folks who somehow scored an invitation to the cookout. Elvis, Bobby Caldwell, Teena Marie, Kenny Loggins, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, and Justin Timberlake have all made careers in music steeped in the sounds of blackness. Is there a proper way for a white artist to exist in a genre that Black artists originated, perfected, and sometimes weren’t allowed to escape? Is it problematic to call this trend “blue-eyed soul”? Writer, host, and podcaster Ashley C. Ford joins us to tackle these questions, explore blue-eyed soul's cousin: yacht rock, and share a Michael McDonald impression that will make you laugh loud enough for your neighbor to hear.

Josh bravely confesses his love of Mariah Carey’s Glitter and tries to convert Tracy.

Then, Ira Madison III, TV writer and the host of Keep It, joins to weigh in on how he’s made a brand out of having strong unapologetic opinions and what he thinks of other pop stars that have tried to make the leap onto the silver screen.
