I was hoping that the history of Blacks and Jews would be explored more, from the period of slavery to Reconstruction to the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras, because it appears that people like Kanye and Irving may be making pedestrian statements without knowing this history.
As for the need for Blacks to mythologize their past in understanding their present, whether through religious sects (Nation of Islam) or fantasy (Black Panther, Kwanzaa, etc.) or conspiracy theories (Black Hebrew Israelites), it is a subject that the audience may find is worth exploring at a relaxed pace.
Wakanda Forever is great, by the way, well worth your movie ticket and 2 hours plus of your life!
A great episode!

Agreed, great podcast gentlemen. I thought the segment about Wakanda was very interesting.
