We Love the Competition
This show is one of our favorites because of the excitement that the competitions stir up. There is also so much foolishness in the reality shows, you can’t help but love it.
So, one Sista is skeptic and the other Sista is the optimist. When it comes to physical competition, they love to watch but know they can’t compete. Check out this episode on physical competition shows and what they think needs to happen to win. They talk about the Amazing Race and the World’s Toughest Race.
Listen The Race Is On!

Meet The Queens Again
We love the stories that originate on the African Continent. In Season One we talked about two of our favorites.
In this week’s episode, the Sistas talk about The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency and Queen Sono which are two shows that have strong African characters in the lead. These shows have women in nontraditional roles and showcase the beautiful land of Botswana and South Africa.
