Hey howdy hey,
We're back this week after a teeny tiny break in the system for some catching up/personal stuff for our hosts. All is well with the world.. except is this... THE LAST EPISODE OF THE SEASON? It's here. It's the beginning of the end.... or... just this season. Bre and Way wrap up their jam packed season 2 with a few kind words of thank yous , goofs and what they're looking forward to in the awaited 3rd season. Not to mention the slow but steady growth beyond just being a podcast.
Slow and steady wins the race. T hings are cooking.
Stay tuned for more BNA to come next year and coming events as well.

Hey howdy hey BNA Listeners!!
Bre and Way are back this week to chat about the SUPER HERO... STATIC SHOCK, WHOOP WHOOP! It's almost funny how long it's taken them to talk about this show. WELL THE WAIT IS OVER. Bre and Way discuss 3 iconic episodes in the series, and discuss their powerful messages involving gun violence, bullying, racisim, and black acceptance. Static is a show that wasn't afraid to be silly, but also tackle important issues that children should learn about.
They also dive in briefly to the Origin of Static in Milestone Comics and his creator Dwayne McDuffie.
Come to think of it... maybe it's good it took them a little bit longer to get around to talking about Static. Yesterday, 6/1/19 was the 25 year anniversary of Static Shock! PERFECT TIMING!
