Ritch and Nicole are at it again, this time discussing how Nicole learned to eat her judgments about the Rocketeer, and how it failed as a franchise. They also talk about how dating in 2021 is a confusing prospect to them and the benefits of compatibility in choosing a mate. They also discuss the slave-themed engagement photos. This lead to a conversation about racial identity development theories.

The second half continues the conversation of race as Ritch and Nicole discuss the challenges of being able to express yourself openly according to your racial identities and the various people who dismiss cultural identities. They also discuss the guy who broke into the Kanye Listening Experience. We also discussed the plight of the black nerd and how there have been issues within the African American community regarding the limits of blackness. Somehow we land back at a discussion about recognizing the cultural shorthand of shared experiences, and how our formative middle school years shaped so many of our adult hurts.

The Hallspace Podcast is a show about connections. Join Ritch Hall and his friends and family for a conversation about the day's events. Follow along as he connects with people, with his thoughts, and hopefully, with you.
