This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of September 9, 2009 with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul Music, news and commentary.
Our commentary this week focused on the pre-fabricated controversy about what messages U.S. President Barack Obama's speech to school children after Labor Day would be about, the open letter former BET.com executive Andreas Hale put out about the inner workings of the Black Entertainment Television channel & other mainstream media outlets, the new discovery in Papua New Guinea of multiple new species on the planet (at least to us) and some other things here and there.
There is a new episode of Direct EFX for this week, but we did not get a new Black Agenda Report segment before the show recording.
Feel free to check out some recent episodes of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast here on BlackRadioIsBack.com - all of the shows are clean/radio friendly.
