Okay, Now We're Listening to 'Back Issue'

Scottie and Sylvia share a goodbye message to the Okay Now Listen audience.

This week, we have a special episode, indeed. We sit down with the multitalented, Golda Rosheuvel, aka Queen Charlotte on Netflix's Bridgerton. We chat with Her Highness about the second season of the hit show, as well as the freedom of love. We even get The Queen to agree to an innocent game of 'Queen Approved.'

This week, we start off by checking in about Netflix's The Ultimatum.  That reunion was as messy as we thought it'd be. Then, we spend some time talking about what it takes to live a life of ease and softness as Black women. Finally, we bring on the multitalented Heather Headley to chat about the ways she intentionally worked to create softness into her character, Helen, on Netflix's Sweet Magnolias, and her journey from theatre to music to acting. Oh, one more thing, this podcast, along with our Youtube series, Get You A Me, have received Webby nominations and we'd love for y'all to vote for us! You can vote for our podcast here and for Get You A Me here. We appreciate y'all!

We are back, baby! This week, we check-in after our *little* hiatus and chat about our vacation adventures and what we've been binging. Hint: It's been a lot of dating reality shows. Then, we spend some time talking about the representation of Black women on these dating reality shows. We bring on the one and only, Lauren Speed-Hamilton, star of season one of Netflix's Love Is Blind, to expand the conversation even further as she shares her experience being casted and produced for the show.

Did you miss us? Of course you did! Okay, Now Listen is back for season three, baby! New date, same energy. Join Scottie and Sylvia for more interviews with your favorite celebs and the hot takes you love to hate. We'll be back in your feeds Tuesday, April 5th.

Happy (Early) New Year! We’re dropping into your feeds early this week with a special Season 2 finale episode. In this marathon of a year, we talk through our personal lessons of the year before getting into all the culture moments that brought us joy in 2021. Because if there’s one thing Omarion’s not gonna do, it’s stop us from celebrating all the fabulous Black women and culture movers who gave us life in this wild year. We get into everything from our favorite Verzuz battles to the best viral internet moments (shoutout to Oprah’s Meghan Markle interview), our favorite albums of the year, songs, movies, TV shows and so much more. So grab yourself a little weighted blanket and tap in!

This week, we check in about the exhaustion of December as we fight to make it to the end of this year. Then, we pivot to unpacking the art of gift giving. What makes a good gift and what doesn’t? We got the answers. Plus, we share some of the best and worst gifts we've ever gotten and talk about the science of reacting to gifts we may not like.

This week, we indulge our #sunsetshawties of the Selling Sunset hive by giving our thoughts on the latest season’s shenanigans. Then, we reflect on the process of creating our Still Watching Netflix series, 'Get You A Me,' and the ways we're getting more comfortable with being seen. Finally, we flip the script on 'Get You A Me' by giving the ladies tips for cuffing season, including some from of our guy friends.

This week, we start off by giving praise to Aunjanue Ellis for her role in the new film, 'King Richard,' and we ask how the hell Adele gets her hands on our diaries every album. Then, we share our hot take about our true feelings for Thanksgiving. Remember this is a safe space, y'all. Finally, we give advice to a few listeners on their holiday season dilemmas.

This week we’re dropping in your feeds early to share an episode of one of our favorite shows: Back Issue. This episode is all about reminiscing on the drama, the art, and the culture of 90s hip hop and R&B music videos.
