    FANTI

    Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).

    Show notes

    Stay Strapped Apr 22, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre'vell Anderson are talking about the rise in gun ownership in the Black community.

    Since March 15th there have been 45 events classified as ‘mass shootings. This year alone – as of the time we’re producing this episode – there have been 147 mass shootings.

    With a rise in gun circulation, a 36% increase in background checks for firearms and an uptick in gun sales during the election year we're asking the question: should Black Americans join in on America's seeming obsession with guns?

    But first…

    We Can’t Call This “N*gga." Apr 08, 2021
    Show notes

    This episode contains strong language, as the title of the episode suggests. Listener discretion is advised.

    This week, hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre'vell Anderson are talking about the "n" word. No, not Chloé Zhao's 2020 indie hit Nomadland. We're talking about the word n*gger. And n*gga. And Tre'vell's personal favorite: nig nogs.

    The word has been in the news rather recently with a number of newsrooms having to address its use by members of its staff. It seems the word is always up for debate in white spaces, among non-Black POC and even Black folks about who can and can't and who should or shouldn't use the word.

    Jarrett and Tre'vell examine the debate of it all and share their own experiences with its use.

    But first…

    T(ea) Time

    Tre'vell and Jarrett discuss media burn-out and the cost of remaining plugged in online.

    DIS/Honorable Mentions

    This week, Jarrett has an honorable mention for the new Youtube Original series Super Sema as well as an honorable mention for LA artists D Smoke and Sir. He also has a dishonorable mention for the raggedy duo of capitalism and white supremacy which work together to make everything worse.

    This is My Sorry for 2004 Apr 01, 2021
    Show notes

    This week, hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre'vell Anderson are talking about public apologies. Who did it right? Who dropped the ball? And who maybe deserves a second chance to make things right? Are public apologies necessary or should the parties involved settle things outside of the phone memo app.

    But first…

    Pass the Popcorn

    Tre'vell and Jarrett discuss Lil Nas X and his new video Montero (Call Me By Your Name.)

    Show notes

    We wrap up our two-part series on awards season with a discussion about the Oscars! This week, hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre'vell Anderson are joined by writer - producer - author and film critic Brooke Obie who makes the case for Black folks to divest from a need for majority acknowledgment and entrance into institutions that ignore us. We'll examine the variety of ways television and film academies and awards shows ignore and gaslight Black, Brown and Asian creators. All that and more!

    But first…

    Pass the Popcorn

    Show notes

    In part one of a two-part series, Jarrett Hill and Tre'vell Anderson take on awards shows. This week, we're joined by the legendary Danyel Smith who hosts the Spotify original Black Girl Songbook! We're sharing some of our favorite Grammy moments, what frustrates us about the selection process and what we see for the future of music. All that and more!

    But first…

    A Tough Question

    Tre'vell has some questions about what constitutes as line-cutting as it pertains to the vaccine.

    DIS/Honorable Mentions

    This week, Tre'vell has an honorable mention for comedian, actor and likely future FANTI topic Tiffany Haddish who just won a Grammy.

    Jarrett has a "Who told y'all to do that?" for rapper Lil Baby whose Grammy performance depicting a Black man being gunned down by the police was certainly a choice. He also has an honorable mention to Cardi B for shouting out lesser known artists this week and getting both Ben Shapiro and Can't Dance Owens tight over her hit song about the importance of keeping a well-oiled machine.

    Keeping it Grammy-related, he has an honorable mention for an up and coming artist...maybe you've heard of her? She goes by the name of Blue Ivy Carter and she just won a Grammy! She's related to another artist who goes by the name of Beyonce and we're all on her internet right now so let's bow down while the getting is good. Kthxbye!

    But first…

    Pass the Popcorn

    We're taking this royal thing to the next level with a chat about the interview heard round the world. That's right! We're talking about Oprah's sit down with the Duke & Duchess of some shit: Meghan Thee Markle and her husband Harry.

    DIS/Honorable Mentions

    Tre'vell has an honorable mention for the one and only TS Madison whose new show is hilarious! Check that out here.

    Dishonorably and with all due disrespect, Jarrett and Tre'vell are calling out professional asshole Piers Morgan who walked off the set of his own show and ultimately got fired on his day off. Stiff upper lip, chap.
