Summary

This week! Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by content creator and voice actor Azeem Jimoh, also known as BlackPurist. Azeem shares his nerdy origins, from his favourite Sonic game to the creators who inspired him to start making content, and how Ryan Higa’s work led him into content creation and voice acting. The conversation dives into overlooked were-creatures, including the criminally underrated were-sloth, and highlights Azeem’s wider work, including his in-depth video on racism in fantasy and how race is constructed in fictional worlds. Towards the end of the episode, Azeem talks about what’s coming up in 2026, including two new shows and his involvement with The Runedocks, before closing out with his brilliant Tale From The Table.
