Black Frasier

Hey y'all! The end of the year is nigh (can you believe I'm using a word like that? #Fancy), so I wanted us to end on a positive and profound note since the holidays are coming up. Like most of you, I'm spending the holidays without my family, which can be a bummer, stressful, or actually, a good thing if things with your family aren't so great. Whatever the case may be, we're all looking inward, which is w...

Hey boo boos! 'Nother hot episode coming at ya and it's a goodie!.

It's a good ass episode with lots of great audience questions and getting real about following your dreams. Enjoy!

Black Fraisans - the future is bright in part because of today's guest Raquel Willis. She is a trans activist, community organizer, writer, and currently is the Director of Communications for the Ms. Foundation. I am so impressed and inspired by her passion to make the world a better place, her intelligence, her warmth. Everything! So I'm glad that she took the time to walk us through her career, why gender reveal parties...

It's the holidays, y'all, so that means eating lots of carbs, hopefully a niece pressie aka present or two, and of course, family. All families are unique with their own set of quirks, flaws, magic, and stress. Therefore, it only makes sense that during this holiday season, Phoebe talks about the family of it all. And she's thrilled to be joined in the studio with star of "Brooklyn Nine Nine," and the upcom...

Listen, boo boos, your girl Phoebe is tired, so she’s cutting straight to the chase. One of the number one themes that y’all wanted on Black Frasier is Siblings, so that’s what we’re discussing today. Sibling relay-lays can be tricky. Magical. Soul shaking. Special. Wonderful. Difficult. The best and the worst. Who better to discuss all the ups and downs of siblinghood than iconic twin pop stars Tegan & Sara. It’s a really good...

Hey y'all! This episode was recorded before the election results came in, so that explains why none of us are addressing it. British Baekoff and I will next week. Anyway, after a week off, we're back with a brand new episode and I'm so stoked because I'm sitting down with actor, producer, Emmy award winner and star of one of my all-time fav TV shows "Mad Men." Of course, I'm talking about Jon Hamm...

Hey y'all! Can you believe I'm doing back to back supersized episodes? Well, honestly, I had no choice because there is soooooooo much to discuss when it comes to K-pop that I already want to do another episode. But in the meantime, let's focus on today. After British Baekoff and I talk about his musical past in a scream metal band (lol, wut?), I'm talking to my first guest my friend/co-worker/life coach/part-ti...

It's crunch time, boos! The 2020 election is coming up. Many of us are scared and stressed and I called on two of the smartest people I know to talk about the issues of the day. Yep, that's right! We have another super sized episode of Black Frasier! So make some popcorn and Lipton iced tea and dig in. First up! Phil and Phoebe break down what exactly he does as a local politician, his career in the non-profit space and, ...

To say Phoebe is a fan of Alicia Keys is an understatement. Phoebe has been following Alicia's career since the beginning, which explains why Phoebe was geeking out the second they met. Thankfully, Pheebs got it together to have a thoughtful, uplifting, fun, and soothing conversation with Alicia about her evolution as a woman, her activism, being a parent, and YES, her iconic skin. Plus, Alicia and Phoebe answer some great aud...

It goes without saying that America and the world are going through a reckoning and following the lack of justice served for Breonna Taylor and last week's disastrous presidential debate, Phoebe needed to sit down with someone to help make sense of it all and who better to do that than National Book Award winner, Guggenheim fellow, educator, and NYT best-selling author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi? In this episode, Phoebe and Ibram disc...

Phoebe and Michelle have known each other for a decade and have been there for one another through breakups, heartbreaks, career achievements, and girl trips. So naturally, it makes sense they’re tackling friendships! The highs. The lows. Maintaining deep platonic bonds and more. Phoebe and Michelle talk about it all plus they answer some real ass questions.

Wooooooooooooooow! Austin Channing Brown is the real freakin' deal and it's so amazing to see her getting her flowers for I'M STILL HERE, which was published in 2018.

Does Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama need an introduction at this point? After all she's done? Ok, fine. Attorney, NYT best-selling author, and our Forever First Lady Michelle Obama is blessing us all with her presence on BLACK FRASIER. A little over a year after they last hung out on Michelle's BECOMING book tour, Miche and Pheebs are reuniting to discuss the state of the naysh, which is dependent on one little thing: v...

Actress, NYT best-selling author, producer, director and good friend Abbi Jacobson are getting deep in their 10 year friendship by discussing the mother of all topics: Motherhood. In this cozy and lovely episode, the two chop it up as they talk about whether they want to have kids, IVF, and what their parents are like all before answering some juicy audience questions!

You're not mistaken! You're seeing two guest names because this is a super sized episode of Black Frasier! It's the first one we've ever done and that makes sense because we are dealing with weighty issues such as police brutality, voting, and qualified immunity. First up! Clark and Phoebe break down what exactly is qualified immunity, his journey to becoming a lawyer, and discuss whether the legal system can be...

Host-presenter-activist-loyal friend Jameela Jamil is joining me today for what I believe to be a powerful and necessary episode of Black Fras. We get into the nitty gritty: the iWeigh community she has painstakingly built, how activism can be tricky in the limelight, how criticism and failure isn't the end of the world, and she rates my British accent. Hint: my British accent is trash! Plus, we answer some great audience ques...

Host of the award winning PATRIOT ACT Hasan Minhaj is hiding out in the woods during the quar-quar, but he joins Phoebe to talk about college and student loans. Listen y'all, making the leap into adulthood is scary and tough, so we're going to talk about how the collegiate and job market is failing us as well as give listeners advice about college. And oh yeah, we're gonna talk about his Disney Prince hair.
