It might take some time but we're confident that our ever loyal listeners/followers will get used to our new broadcasting home courtesy of BTalk 100.  Join your favorite AFROnerdists for this Sunday's Grindhouse episode as powered by the Afronerd Radio machine airing at 6pm eastern and again heard at this very website.  The topics to be discussed are as follows:  black culture and music took a heavy hit with the passing of two iconic figures-Richard Penniman aka Little Richard, "The Architect of Rock and Roll," and famed music mogul/record executive (Uptown Records and Motown Records) and classic hip hop artist, Andre Harrell:


More unfortunate but necessary COVID-19 news and developments;  another legendary quarantine inspired VERZUZ match-up took place this weekend and this time it involved stellar neo-soul artists, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott-the ladies garnered hundreds of thousands of viewers via Instagram (will black culture get its social media due? if it's not black Twitter, it's instagram); Oh and is the next battle going to be between rappers, Ludacris and Nelly?; conservative radio host, Dennis Prager raised the ire of the internet from what appeared to be his meandering thoughts about how African-Americans (and Indigenous people) self identify; something we failed to discuss on our last show-the social media debate about UK singer, Adele's weight loss and how the response is actually a form of toxicity;  the creators of the extremely popular Rick and Morty animated series have branched out into another similar cartoon imprint (this time on Hulu) called Solar Opposites;  Dburt discovers yet another UK series that might become a "must watch" streaming exercise entitled, Gangs of London;  oh and CBS' God Friended Me has been cancelled (Argh!);  writers Mikki Kendall (Hood Feminism) and L.L. McKinney (A Blade So Black) might help those who can't view the highly anticipated (and COVID preempted) Black Widow film based on their new writing gig involving the same character via Marvel's Serial Box Exclusive series, Black Widow: Bad Blood; in lieu of a forthcoming Mortal Kombat live action reboot (and the recently released animated download/DVD, Scorpion's Revenge); a trailer for an extension to the MK11 video game just hit the cyberwebs entitled, Aftermath; Lastly, why was the term #newblacks trending on twitter recently? Call in LIVE at our new number: 1-508-645-0100.

For the mothers-to-be and new moms alike, if you weren’t in the know, get to know about Perry Mackin’s silicone baby bottles. Not only are they cute, but they’re also flexible, long-lasting, and free of toxins.

The bottles are quite sustainable (as in environmentally friendly). They’re made of 30 percent higher impact-resistant medical grade silicone, which is a hygienic material that ensures the bottle has no open pores so that bacteria can’t form and be harbored. The bottles are BPA, PVC and phthalate-free, and they’re easy to clean thanks to the wide neck. They also hold up in the dishwasher, in the freezer, microwave and in boiling water.

There is a leak-proof, bacteria-proof joint system that attaches the nipple to the bottle.  No glue is used, further ensuring that your child’s milk won’t be exposed to anything harmful, so no leaching of harmful chemicals. In addition to all that, there’s an anti-colic air vent system so that air isn’t ingested during baby’s feedings.

The bottles are also lightweight and incredibly soft to the touch for your little one, from the nipple to the bottom. The exterior has a contour grip design, allowing for the bottle to be able to go to work in whatever position your baby is feeding and to assist in them being able to hold on to it the older they get. The measurement system on the outside of the bottle is also easy to read in ounces and millilitres.

The Perry Mackin brand, though they have a full selection of baby products (from diaper bags and bibs to neck pillows and more), knows a thing or two about silicone. Aside from the silicone baby bottles, they also have silicone teething feeders and silicone transitional bottle handles for when your baby isn’t such a little one anymore. The brand, founded seven years ago, is all about providing what they call “ubiquitous luxury,” and by that they mean they offer products made of high-quality raw materials and that are of premium design and functionality.

Get to know what they mean by ubiquitous luxury by checking out these adorable bottles, which come in white, pink and blue. Perry Mackin is currently having a Mother’s Day sale, so these bottles, among an assortment of other products, are 30 percent off.
