Marc Lamont Hill is a scholar, author, and a man of many suits. Sam, Alex, and Marc take a look back at 1984. A year full of political shifts. Jessie Jackson made his first run for president of the United States, and Bill Cosby had our hearts. If you’re interested in the rise of crack cocaine and the fall of Black Santa Claus, then this is the episode for you.

In this intro episode, Sam and Alex Look Back At 2015. The year they met. They talk everything from Sam's career tracking nut to Alex’s days as a subpar GoGo dancer. We remember the good ol' days when we didn’t know Nicki Minaj's political affiliations, the golden era of Lee Daniels and the need for black men to get therapy. Plus, whether you should walk or drive to a protest and who should go to a Black Lives Matter rally, all and all 2015 was a wild ride. Tap in.
