Howdy, folks!  Check out a new episode of The Mid Week in Review podcast, airing this Wednesday at 7:30pm EST, thanks to Afronerd Radio Machine Works. Join your hosts, Dburt and Capt. Kirk as the team unravels the following (mid) weekly dilemmas:  our impressions of HBO's Westworld finale, more theories and expectations/predictions for season 2; a newly minted Black Santa....the first for Minnesota's Mall of America receives of deluge of hateful online comments channeling Fox correspondent, Megyn Kelly's famed assertions that St. Nick is White! (just, wow); and after watching both Sir Anthony Hopkins' performance in the aforementioned Westworld and the Black Santa nontroversy, Dburt deduces that President-elect Donald Trump has somehow remixed his own version of the sci-fi series in real time! Raceworld!  We'll elucidate..but you're not going to want to miss the pop culture connection!; is there such a thing as free will?  or are we all unconsciously (and sub consciously) programmed?  Dburt discovers a fascinating novel published a few years ago by late author, Daniel Wegner entitled The Illusion of Conscious Will;  the Fake News phenomenon worsens with gunfire erupting at a Washinton, D.C. pizzeria caused by an outlandish and more importantly,false story;  And lastly and as expected, Neo-Nazis call for a boycott of the upcoming Star Wars: Rogue One movie because of its promotion of multi-culturalism.  Call the hosts live at 646-915-9620.
