    Ratchet & Respectable

    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, and whatever else has captivated the zeitgeist AND her inner circle. Ratchet & Respectable is published twice weekly, every Tuesday, every Friday. Listen wherever popular podcasts are heard. #ratchetandrespectable

    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Learn, Earn, Return Apr 22, 2025
    Show notes

    After a 5 year hiatus, Demetria's Dad aka Papa Lucas returns to Ratchet & Respectable to discuss growing up in "The Ridge" Mississippi, listening to a lynching on the radio, living thru segregation, passing (but not), becoming "Luke the Lover", avoiding Vietnam, migrating to the Midwest, 13 days at the Chrysler plant, meeting Marvin Gaye and Medgar Evers, and moving on up like George Jefferson, as inspired by Demetria's obsession with "Sinners".
    FYI: Almost the whole episode is an interview. Papa Lucas does not guest star, feature, or anchor.
