Demetria L. Lucas & Studio71

It's a kiki for the culture!!! Journalist and author Demetria L. Lucas brings the group chat to life on her weekly podcast where she-- and the occasional guest-- muses on pop culture shenanigans, global galavanting, political insanity, everything worth watching on any size screen, her favorite reads, dating/marriage/divorce chronicles and whatever else has captivated the zeitgeist AND her inner circle.
Ratchet & Respectable is published EVERY WEDNESDAY. Listen wherever popular podcasts are heard. #ratchetandrespectable
