The Franklin Chronicles

This podcast is about, but not limited to: Black Folks, my epic battle with Wynton Marsalis, puppies, rainbows and unicorns (because chicks dig that crap), hip-hop (and why I dislike most of it), Apple Inc., marriage, White folks, children and chocolate chip cookies. But most importantly it is about my unending search for the profound in the mundane. So kick off your shoes and make yourselves comfortable. (Leave your socks on though. You don't need to get that damn comfortable). If you hear something you like, feel free to leave a comment.
