Take A Hike

This week on #TheFriendZone, Assanté brings Apple TV’s newest hit show - Severance - to the hot button segment. If your employer offered a tech hack that would allow you to go “unconscious” during work hours, so you could get through it with minimal stress and “sever” your work life from your home life, would you accept? We share our thoughts and experiences.

Join bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.)

As transplants to New York City (Kid Fury from Miami and Crissle from Oklahoma City), The Read also serves as an on-air therapy session for two friends trying to adjust to life (and rats) in the big city.

The Read is part of the LoudSpeakers Network and is published every week on iTunes, iHeart Radio Talk, Soundcloud & Stitcher.
