Wade calls an audible, and they discuss Sharmane’s engagement at Mixed Asian Day. This leads to a conversation about being Mixed, Wade having a racist last name, and the stigma of being Mixed. After that, butterflies are in the sky as they talk about Lavar Burton being amazing (and fine) and the new Reading Rainbow with host Mychal the Librarian.
Meet the Hosts:

• Mark Lynch aka Old Man Wade is a longtime comic book head and pop culture writer for Bam Smack Pow, and host of The Old Man Wade Show. He’s got thoughts. Lots of them.
• Sharmane Fury aka The X-Mane is a Black-Japanese, British-American, award-winning podcaster, cosplayer, cat mom, and widow who brings a thoughtful perspective on identity, fandoms, and everything in between. Host of Militantly Mixed, BLERDcoMIXed, and Matcha, Masala, & Murder.
