Nickles and Dimes (with Glasses Malone)21 May 202601:11:31

Surprise guest Glasses Malone falls through, and discuss shifting podcast formats toward limited series and more story-driven content. They critique today’s culture as manufactured, driven by false narratives and social-media follower “disconnect,” arguing microphones and screens reduce accountability and push people to perform rather than be themselves. Norm recounts arriving broke to Long Beach in 1990 via Greyhound, the shock of gang politics around Long Beach City College football, early hustling on Anaheim and Ohio, and learning neighborhood rules. They share memories of early Long Beach rap buz, honoring legacy artists like Ice-T and LL Cool J, supporting TDE’s long grind, the Power 106 era and Julio G, and a plan to build 3140 TV to better control narratives and restore hip-hop as a boutique cultural product, and asks the question...When did people become so plastic?

Officer Get's Away With Snatching A Life-Yet Again!12 Feb 202601:07:32

Tonight on the podcast, we step into a conversation that demands attention.

We sit down with filmmakers Laura Dylan Kerman and William Howell to discuss their powerful documentary Cycle— a film examining the death of Ty'Rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine.

On June 15, 2019, Ty’Rese was stopped for a bicycle light violation by a sergeant from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. What followed ended with Ty’Rese being fatally shot. The officer, Eric Gizi, stated he acted in self-defense after allegedly seeing a firearm. Prosecutors later declined to file charges.

Cycle does not just revisit headlines — it explores the broader patterns, the community impact, and the questions that still echo years later.

Tonight’s conversation dives into:

  • The making of Cycle

  • The emotional weight of telling stories like this

  • Accountability, policy, and the meaning of justice

  • The ripple effects on families and communities

This is not just about one night.
It’s about the cycles we repeat — and whether we’re willing to break them.

Join us for a thoughtful, necessary dialogue. Listen with an open mind. Share with intention.
