Snap Studios. Okay, so there's a wealthy neighborhood, not too far from where I live, and I'm wandering over there the other day because I found

down through some well-placed sources where they hid this beautiful outdoor track and this wonderful

pool I'm gonna get my exercise on.

Of course, a few folk kind of give me that I,

but I don't pay any never mind because I'm listening to a podcast and this

podcast it's about this world

This world I tend to inhabit the The world I always inhabit. The show is called The Secret

Adventures of Black People. And there's no plot twist, no big story, but I dig it. I really dig it because the creator,

Nicole Hill, he just takes me there. And I want to take you there, so to kick things off,

we're going to play just a few minutes of it for you right now.

Once upon a time, they lived a woman named, well, my own Stephanie. One day, in her 40, she found herself heartbroken in sunny California and at a crossroads in life.

She decided to move back to her small factory town in Maine and swear off love for good.

She's black, I'm black, there are black people in Maine, it's fine. Okay.

Once there, she ran into the local carpenter named Eddie.

Eddie fell in love with her on site and he tried everything he

could think of to get her attention but none of it worked. My aunt was not

having it.

Then one day, as legend has it, he built her an intricate oversized mirror, the most beautiful mirror in all of the land for the most beautiful

woman and my Aunt Stephanie's heart started to warm. Slowly they became friends, then they fell

in love, got married, settled in the main

countryside and planted vegetables and raised chickens and lived happily ever after.

The end.
