About The Boondocks Podcast

Until July 2020, I (Dean – the producer) had never seen The Boondocks.  I’d asked my wife, Tiara, if she’d watched it when it was out originally in 2005 and she’d said that she’d only watched a few episodes.  I asked her if she would like to.  She said “sure”.

So, being that the Covid-19 pandemic was still going on and we weren’t going anywhere, we logged into our HBOMax account and queued it up.  What I saw was one of the most amazing pieces of art ever produced.  I was fascinated at the anime style, the hip-hop music, and the political tones (both overt and subversive).  I fell in love!

Being a podcaster I set out to find more from my podcast siblings about the show.  I searched Google, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc…NOTHING!!!  How could this be?! 

I had to correct this immediately!  Problem was…I’m white.  I absolutely CANNOT host this show!  Not my place at all.  So, I put out tweets mentioning about the extreme lack of podcasts about The Boondocks and that my Black podcasting siblings must heed the call and that I would support them in any way possible.  No movement.  At first I was frustrated, but then I had an idea…I asked Tiara, “If I can find you another Black co-host or two, would you be interested in doing this podcast?”  Her one word response:  “Definitely!”

So, my friends, please enjoy The Boondocks Podcast!
