Horse Meat Disco, That's NOT So Raven, Suicide Awareness Month Dial 988
Yo Aunteas are back from a whirlwind weekend taking over New York City, and the tea is piping hot! Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell tackle the viral podcast conversation between Raven-Symoné and Kalen Allen. Did That’s So Raven get watered down, or are people unfairly blaming Raven's wife for statements Raven has been making for over a decade? We unpack Hollywood policing Blackness, the green-people argument, and why nostalgic hero worship always gets complicated. Yo Aunteas also recap their WILD wedding weekend in NYC (Horse Meat Disco may have ruined us for every other party), a $188 US Open ticket disaster, new iPhone rollout, and a real conversation about oversharing, misinformation, how September is Suicide Prevention Month, and a critical deep dive into Out.com's guide on 8 ways adults can show up for LGBTQ+ students this school year. Was That’s So Raven Black culture to you, or Disney-fied for the masses?

Mustarrdddd, FLO or UnFLO, US Open on Labor Day
Justttt the two of us... Aunteas Kerel and Jerrell hold down the fort without Auntea Dawon for the first time! Did Gen Z really just say men over 40 shouldn’t even look their way unless they’re paying rent? 💀 This week on Minoritea Report, Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell go unfiltered on the viral TikTok/IG debate sparked by Gen Z claiming older gays must fund their lives to date them. From Billy Porter and Durand Bernarr chiming in to our own messy history with "transactional arrangements" in our 20s, we’re unpacking the real tea on age gaps, gym culture, and aging in the community. We’re breaking down girl group dynamics: is FLO’s new album giving authentic 2000s R&B nostalgia or just an industry push? Why is it time for Fifth Harmony to suck it up and reunite? And why is Tinashe officially the queen of late summer? Plus 25 years since 9/11.

Kevin Aviance: Hippopotamus Deluxe, Happy B-Day, RIP Dolly Parton
Ballroom icon, house music legend, and the voice behind "Cunty", Kevin Aviance sits down with Yo Aunteas! Kevin just dropped Hippopotamus (Deluxe) and opens up about everything: how Beyoncé sampled "Cunty" on Renaissance's "Pure/Honey" (and how he found out), what it's still like to be "cunty" at 58, laying the groundwork for a generation of Black queer artists, and why ballroom culture IS Black culture, period. We go track-by-track through Hippopotamus — including "Dolls," his protest record for Black trans women, the gospel cut "What a Friend," and "Bloodlines," written from a conversation with the late Father Hector Xtravaganza. Plus: his new era as a DJ, the Fever NYC party scene, growing up in Richmond and coming up in DC nightlife, a tribute to Dolly Parton, and a first look at what's coming for Beyoncé's B'Day 20th anniversary. 🍵 SUBSCRIBE for new episodes of Minoritea Report every week 🍵 Kevin Aviance's new album Hippopotamus (Deluxe) — streaming now 🍵 Club Hippopotamus (the remix album) coming soon TEASTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 01:11 – Kevin Aviance: Hippopotamus Deluxe 06:44 – C*nty sampled on Beyoncé's Renaissance 15:29 – C*nty at 58 21:14 – Kevin's DJ era 24:55 – DC nightlife 33:26 – "Ballroom is Black culture, period" 35:56 – Hippopotamus Tracks 43:06 – Club Hippopotamus remix album 51:51 – RIP Dolly Parton 55:39 – Beyoncé's B'Day 20th anniversary 1:13:00 – Onya & Benediction
