Zane is a writer who is dear to my heart and for sure tout me and my friends that there is nothing wrong with sexual desire. Thank you for bringing her onto the podcast!

Still my favorite podcast ❤️ truly a treasure even after its ending

A cheap knock-off of The Read for white people who don’t know better (The Read). No one wanted this show, we wanted Sampler, Reply All, and the Read. Now, at the end of the Woke Olympics, we just have the Read. Thanks for all you’ve done for podcasting LOL.

Not a fan of the male host or his style.

Cancelled due to a lack of interest. Now they want to take other shows down with them.

I used to love this show but since the Quibi deal the episodes are too short. There’s just not enough time to have the kind of thoughtful discussions I used to come to this show for.

This show opened my eyes to so many things we don’t learn in school! From unsung heroes to deep dives on pop culture this podcast was everything! So sad it went to a TV model and couldn’t stay as both, idk! Miss you soo much Britney and Eric

For the two years I have listened to this show. Thank you for unapologetically being and celebrating black culture. I have learned and grown so much from this show content. I miss ya’ll.

Thank you for the knowledge and subjects you discuss.

I love this show. sad to see it move on but very happy for them. I will definately be relistening to some of my favorite episodes.

Even if the show is over, the back catalogue is great

Glad I found you two but my bad that I found you so late. The best to you both!

Been rocking with Brittany and Eric ever since For Colored Nerds and they continue to outdo themselves. I thoroughly enjoy the stories of the little know black figures and stories that I would probably have never come across on my own. This show is hilarious, informative and full of gems. You are sure to be delighted if you give this podcast a chance.

Super happy to have discovered this podcast from reading the previous review I didn’t know you all are ending this podcast but have been enjoying binge listening and will do the same with For Colored Nerds 🤗🤗

I started listing to this podcast late 2019 and soon discovered the show was ending, at least in this format. It was sad news, but I’ve really enjoyed the in-depth conversations and pursuit to understand the culture.

I’m devastated to hear that this show is over! The banter between Brittany and Eric is hilarious and fresh and the topics on this show have enriched my life and my history. Thank you the Nod for the laughs and the tears

You were one of my favorite podcasts. I’m so sad for me and very happy for you. You were an important part of my real American history education. You taught me a lot. Thank you.

I am going to miss listening to the show. I truly love this podcast and I’m excited about the new projects that are in store but this is going to be a sad ending . Good luck 👍🏽 😘👋🏽✊🏽

So sad for you guys to leave but so happy you get to grow. We’ll always have to the memories! Hopefully you’re able to remain authentic.

Using curse words as adjectives, or adverbs is seriously disheartening. I would expect and appreciate educated Black Americans to rise above the use of cursing language. It is your personal choice but you would not want a younger generation to follow your example of language. Rise above, as examples to use the thousands of words in the dictionary.

This was one of the best episodes I was in tears and I think it was because I always say I’m fine Thank you

A must listen for those who want to see black girl magic and black boy joy normalized and celebrated.

There seems to be plenty of podcasts that cover the U.S. unjust treatment of people of color. But I haven’t come across many that celebrate black culture in such a direct and intentional way. How about we take a break from our soapboxes and take a moment to find the humanity in all races and cultures? This podcast is a great outlet for having real discussions about black culture no matter how silly or serious the subject matter. Keep it up y’all!

Got recommended to your pod while talking about Watchmen on Reddit. Still in the middle of the podcast and the big race empowerment in the show is so bold. I picture the average fan of the Snyder movie and the hardcore comic fans (like myself, 30ish white dude) having a lump in there throughts. The subtle racism is done so well. Now about your podcast, my good sir. I's the bee's knees.

The Nod just feels like the best home. It’s unapologetically Black, without bashing any other ethnicity, but it is clearly FUBU. If anyone else wants to come along, they’re welcome, but it reminds us that Black is everything.

This discussion with a Watchman writer was so needed to unpack or affirm what I thought I was seeing in this extraordinary series on HBO. Excellent discussion.

Stop what you’re doing and listen to this podcast

This podcast is so good. It's like chilling with two of your smartest, funniest friends talking the real. The Illuminati episode? Get out. So hilarious. I'm so glad this podcast is here.

They are so relatable. I can’t get enough of these two.

Just heard the first good for the blacks on Jay Z’s album, and really think it’s weak to continue to portray the message that blacks can’t succeed or participate in the capitalistic system. Yes we have historically, and many cases continue to be, excluded; however, we are at a point in time to where we can take control. The last thing we want is a centralized government. Let’s talk about how we can better shape capitalism rather than moving away from it.

The topics are great and the hosts are hella entertaining. I always leave the show better than I was before.

These two are clearly enjoying themselves which makes the podcast just delightful

This podcast has been transformative and an inspiration. Looking forward to maybe seeing an episode on Mixed-ish from Brittany and Eric.

I love every episode! Love Brittany and Eric! Love the information and love MYSELF more and more each time I consume Blackness and Black greatness in the form in which these two have packaged it up and served it! I already hate this review and am resisting starting over because I feel there really is no way to articulate the value of having “Blacknesses biggest fans” share of the past, present and the personal of Black existence!

Thanks for droppin’ this ep. I had no idea about “The Life and Times.” I truly appreciate it. Check in’ from the (504) from the Westbank of New Orleans. PeAcE

The Nod is my favorite podcast! Eloise Westbrook and all the peanut butter chronicles are excellent. I’ve listened the Oprah’s Legend Ball episode three times. Love, love, love Brittany and Eric!

I came to The Nod as a listener of For Colored Nerds (Brittany & Eric’s original, independent podcast). I loved FCN and really wanted to love The Nod but it’s just not as good. The content on this show seems watered and dumbed down in comparison. It’s just not as interesting.

This podcast takes creative to whole new level. Such a niche area but it’s insane the stories that are shared on this podcast and what a listener is able to learn. I feel Blacker just by listening. Truly a one of a kind show. God bless. Keep spreading your magic through this platform! Love from DC ♥️

I’ve listened to EVERY episode of this show. As a result, I’ve learned about people and events that I had never heard of in my almost 36 years of life. Each episode leaves me wanting more! Thank you for teaching me and so many others about important facts and figures we may not know about otherwise.

Lots of internalized anti blackness on this episode from the male host. You really needed to do a whole episode on proving a Black school was capable of basic education? I’m glad you got humbled.

I’ve been a faithful listener for the past year or so. The Nod provides unique, informative stories. Please have more lives shows

Every time I listen I hear a message I never knew I needed. Sometimes light sometimes deep it is always what I need. Thank you for the work you do!

I absolutely love this podcast. The hosts are smart and funny, they get right to the take-away and organize the show really well - no meandering or confusing side paths. I’ve learned a ton listening. It ranges from heartbreaking to hilarious.

Every episode is amazing.. would pay money for a daily morning show!!!

I learned about The Nod of IG and listen to them on Spotify. This is seriously the most relatable and engaging Podcast I've listened to. I'm hooked! Wish they would do one daily! Check them out.

I heard about this podcast on Good Christian Fun, and I am so glad I did. It is a thoughtful, humorous, pleasant examination into black culture and I am just grateful to live in a time where podcasts like this exist.

Love this show!! I listen to this show all day at work! I’m gonna be sad once I’m all caught up, keep up the good work guys!!

Hands down one of my favorite podcasts. These two are intelligent, funny and have interesting ways of looking at our culture and highlighting what makes us us! It’s a celebration of black culture in the best way possible without putting down anyone else’s culture. Thank you Brittany and Eric, keep on keeping on!

Listen! The Nod is easily one of my absolute favorite podcasts! It’s a deep dive into authentic black culture with out the embarrassing stereotypes. The journalism is so good. Every episode feels like the hood thesis statements on Twitter.

Dear Brittany and Eric, part deux. Every word I wrote in the review below, approximately two years ago, remains true today. UPDATE 2019: Brittany, your thesis and supporting evidence for “the Oprah Legends Ball as the best superhero movie of all time” was genius and pure entertainment mixed with undeniable, beautiful fact. I listened to it on the 40 minute commute home and here’s that epic driveway moment I've heard about; I’ve finished listening but I really really really HAD to write this review before going inside after a long Friday and a longer week. Wow. It’s just too bad that Beyoncé was not at the Legends Ball because she is a youngun fast on the way to Legend status; only thing holding her back might be her relative youth. This ep? “ It really was something” 😉 Eric: f the haters. I love your laugh. Always have, always will. It’s genuine, what I imagine you to be. It’s super endearing and reminds me of Ernie from Sesame Street. Never change. Love you BOTH!! 5/24/19. 🤓😎 ****************** I've listened to every ep of The Nod and FCN. You are *consistently* amazing in content, quality, rapport. I am entertained and enlightened every time. I'm also jealous af. I'm on the outside looking in, wishing I could truly be part of the culture you describe so affectionately.
