This podcast is all about real, unfiltered conversations — from entertainment like sports and TV/film to the societal topics shaping today’s world.
Some discussions are deep. Some are random. All of them are meant to spark thought.
Whether I’m speaking solo or with people in my circle, the goal is to bring up ideas that challenge perspectives, share knowledge, and give listeners something to take with them.
“& Co.” represents everyone involved — from the guests to the listeners supporting the journey.
Because this isn’t something I do alone.
Hi everyone, in this quick discussion, I differentiate the words "kind" and "nice". These words might seem to be synonyms, but they aren't. Many people don't know that, and I did a live regarding this topic. At the end, you'll hear me add more information on the etymology of the word nice as well. Stay tuned!

6 Green Flags To Look For in a Partner (Person)!
Intro: I run through the six bullet points on what makes a person worth the time to establish a bond with instead of wasting time!
This podcast was spawned by reading an article from CBS from relationship expert Frankie Bashan aka Dr. Frankie. She articulates very well the factors that make a person a good partner. In my case, I used this blog as a way to interpret the message as for all relationships, regarding romantic, friendships, familiar ties, and even work relationships where contracts are upheld.
Using personal examples and a cheap plug to my IG, check out the article below to see the correlation this episode has to your life and how it might change you. Peace!

RayMoney & Le Soapbox: Interview on King Leopold II
What’s the news?!
Now, I want to announce what I did as amazing. I never thought I would get a real look off Medium by someone until about a few more years. I’m saying this because I have just done an interview on October 9th about a figure on an article I did about 4 years ago. As you can see, it was about King Leopold II.
Content Creator | Medium, YouTube| Linktree (https://linktr.ee/raymoney253)
It was my first interview in a few years, and I will say I was feeling good but wish I didn’t have ANY mess ups. The guy is legitimate as it gets, and the process was about almost two weeks to get ready. Luckily, I prepared my set up and read over my article and a few links I had to shock my memory back so that I knew the main big points.
It is going to be on iTunes (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/le-soapbox/id1514953530) and is a highly rated podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/le-soapbox/id1514953530?see-all=reviews) which is why I care so much more. I stated extra facts that weren’t initially necessary for the 4 questions the interviewer asked me, but I correlated to Leopold in order to make it work and he definitely appreciated because it showcased my knowledge as a Black millennial, which the podcast is geared for. (i.e., mentioned Cecil Rhodes, barbarism, Herero genocide, etc)
Am I going to state, the original interview was recorded in October 2022 and I had to request the audio file in order to get it published in the first place. Hopefully it will be on his podcast soon as well so more folks know more about the atrocities the Congolese suffered.

Anyways, I can’t wait to keep you guys to see the podcast! Also, here are some links I’ve found in 2022 after seeing the public recognition of the statue removal for King Leopold II. It’s quite fascinating. Take care!

The Teacher That Had The Most Impact on Me Growing Up
Let's revisit: This is the second episode where I'm talking about a previous article I wrote (almost four years ago), and I elaborate more on how the situation my teacher resolved was something I never forgot. The way he conducted himself and the principles he used are what I think many teachers should try to implement when problem-solving.

How Honest Are You About Yourself?
In this podcast, I will talk about what makes me insecure. I’ll discuss them in a list format from my appearance to my usefulness. I hope this will lead to someone being honest about themselves to be the best person they can be.
This originated from a recent article I did regarding my insecurities about myself. I'll do more podcasts and expand my blogs for new listeners.
Comment below, and I’ll answer what I thought. Link to blog: https://medium.com/raymond-mbifngwens-blogspot/how-honest-are-you-1a1062482191

Why Are People So Unempathetic To Each Other?
This is a nearly three-hour podcast, so listen at your own risk lolHello everyone! We are discussing a topic I believe is becoming increasingly global. UNEMPATHY. The lack of empathy, I see, is pathetic. People confuse the words Sympathy and Empathy as if they are the same. They are synonyms but have different levels of understanding and abilities that people most likely don’t know. Since I believe that, as humans, we need interaction. Even though I don’t like talking, how will you have bonds unless you put yourself out there and listen to others? That’s what I ask myself constantly, and when I was researching un-empathetic, I found many websites that gave me informative diagnoses as to why people are so averse to being empathetic.One of my guests ended up staying after the nearly 2-hour mark, and we had another convo about what else is wrong in the world, and this verified to me that I made the right decision to have him as a cohost. He is very passionate and knows what he is talking about. Going through the topic, I advise the listeners to look at the website (https://psychcentral.com/lib/why-do-some-people-lack-empathy) I used to recite my reasoning, statistics, and statements.Lastly, what do you think about this topic? Does this make you think about how you or others around you operate with people? These are just questions I would like you to answer for yourselves. Stay blessed everyone! Thanks to my Cohosts!This podcast was the first time I had guests. Initially, I prepared for this conversation for over a week and carefully selected my cohosts on Stereo, the app where I look for people to talk to. It’s in the name (Co.), so I need to involve more people in my endeavor to live up to the title of my podcast.Stereo has been great in the aspect of my usual friends on the platform; there are people I can talk to and hang out with in person. I can’t wait for more content from cohosts, and special thanks to Platanolover and Drago for clearing their schedules to discuss a nuanced topic. Thanks to PS3Thatsme for joining the podcast's early part and offering his perspectives and experiences. You guys were amazing!

How and Why Eminem Became Overrated
(Originally published July 8th, 2023) I decided to break down why Eminem can be considered overrated nowadays. I believe this is the case due to many factors that contributed to his career negatively. Eminem's legacy and being too highly rated as an emcee have been an extensive discussion in the hip-hop community for years. But, since Revival was released in December 2017, Eminem has unfortunately helped the case that while he's a great, legendary rapper, his all-time rank is overly valued.
Chapters:
0:00 Intro as a fan
3:45 How he became overrated
7:04 Discography misses
12:39 Stan Culture
18:55 Why he became overrated
21:00 Slowly becoming formulaic
25:04 Versatility slowly lost
28:53 Drug Addiction
35:06 Label allowing mediocrity
37:05 Not inspired
38:40 Musically not talented in hip hop anymore
41:40 Ignoring potential allies
43:15 Closing statement

The post shows the process of how I decided to break my reasoning on Eminem's legacy. Sorry about my mic and the feedback, it was extra bad with it recognizing all the little noises in the background and myself catching my breath when I was sick.
BTW, I AM AN Eminem FAN LOL https://www.entertainmentbreakdown.com/reviewer-editorial-21bff7341723

The Etymology of the N-Word/High Glucose Levels?
Please read what is below before listening to the podcast. Or you can read after. It’s an introduction and summary at the same time. PEACE!
Hello everyone!
This is my first podcast (originally published elsewhere), where I decided to explain the genesis of the word “nig*er”. This first half of the podcast @ 0:15 was started because I wanted to provide context on how the N-word was used, which caused the racist word to be derived from the original term to a new one with a racist connotation. A little random question from an audience member about anime @ 6:35 to 7:30. I go back to talking about the N-word @ 7:31 to 9:45. The second half of the podcast starts at @ 9:46 and talks about the concerns about type 2 diabetes and what you might need to know. Just a brief informative talk detailing some terminology you should know before a doctor tells you. I got these ideas from a panel discussing these two topics on a podcast app called “Stereo.”
Chapters:
0:00 Intro
0:15 N-Word Origin Part 1
6:35 Anime segue
7:30 N-Word Origin Part 2
9:46 High Glucose Levels
