About

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.
