  • Summary

  • In this episode, Jenn and Daren tackle the contentious topic of "Experts Over Influencers and Content Creators." With a mix of humor and candidness, they explore the distinctions between true expertise and the rise of social media personalities. The episode opens with Jenn and Daren discussing the importance of understanding the difference between experts, content creators, and influencers, especially with the Presidential election on the horizon. They highlight the necessity of rigorous training and peer review in establishing true expertise. Jenn and Daren stress the importance of community, training, and practice in developing genuine knowledge, which can't be replaced by social media popularity. In the second segment, Daren shares a fascinating case study involving Terrence Howard and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Howard's controversial claim that "one times one equals two" and Neil deGrasse Tyson’s vicious “peer review” underscores the importance of peer review and accountability in maintaining the integrity of knowledge. Jenn references Amanda Seales and the “Origin” movie as examples of people professing to be experts without the accountability that is required to prove that their knowledge has any merit. The episode concludes with a reflection on how to engage appropriately with content on social media. Jenn and Daren discuss the importance of citation ethics and community accountability, encouraging listeners to dig deeper into sources and recognize the difference between entertainment and substantive knowledge.

We do “adult” differently. We are That Black Couple. Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren’t beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.
