What's the tone of the show?
Nichole, Host
Um, so I want to tell a bunch of stories about Black people in a cinematic theatrical way
Guest 1
He said he was just out, he said he wanted to come see Maine so I just took a road trip. And I’m like ok hmm. He gets on out there. Ok. Alright. I should have got the man’s number. That’s what I should have did.
Nichole, Host
And I want to leverage something other than our pain
Guest 2
You know there was like the nightclubs and the music like people would just start playing music outside with these, like manmade instruments almost like, you know the coconut husk. They call it a calabash. You can like drink water with it, but you can also put it over water and make music with it, this echoing sound. And I was just like, I love this life. It was so simple.
Nichole, Host
I want it to be like, just they're actually ordinary stories, but they're about Black people. And so that's what makes it like a secret because you don't hear ordinary stories about Black people. You only hear kind of extraordinary stuff. Usually bad.
Guest 3
I'm thinking of joining a 55 and older Basketball league. I just have to find it.
Nichole, Host
Or start it

Mindset. Change your mindset.
Nichole, Host
Yeah, that's it. That's the tone of the show. regular old stories about Black folk. I was gonna call it the Secret Adventures of Black Folks, but I find it difficult to say “folks” after a while. The Secret Adventures of Black People. What do you think about that name?
Shonte, Producer
