BLOCKED is an unfiltered conversation between Kimara McGee and Zeke Dolezalek as we break down the creative, cultural, and societal roadblocks we face every day. From personal experiences to larger cultural moments, we talk about the things that block us—and how we push through them. Whether it’s on an app, negativity, or navigating the blocks society puts in our way, we’re here to keep it real—and maybe block a few things along the way.

Plus, the TikTok “wig” conspiracy refuses to die, Ze...
