“The B Dorm Podcast” Launched by Righteous Media
Dropping for Black History Month, the New Politically Independent Morning Show-Style Pod Hosted by Activists Don Elivert & Jehriko Turner Tackles Race, Politics, News, Culture, Sports and More FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 18, 2022 NEW YORK, NY: Righteous Media (the independent media company founded by activist Paul Rieckhoff and behind Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff, The Firefighters Podcast with Rob Serra, FDNY(Ret.), Uncle Montel – The OG of Weed and Everybody & Their Mother Has a Podcast) is proud to announce the launch of it’s newest project: a provocative, smart, and fun new podcast: “The B Dorm Podcast”. Hear the trailer now. And listen to Episode One and/or watch video clips of B Dorm on the show website now here. Have you ever seen an eclectic group of friends and wonder how the hell such diverse people ended up meeting and getting along? Ever wonder what conversations take place behind closed doors, when political correctness isn’t a factor and friends can just be real with each other? That’s what The B Dorm Podcast is about. Hosted by two black men from Queens, educated at one of America’s most elite and most white colleges, they dive into the news, politics, race and pop culture with a perspective that flies from the highly intellectual to the downright silly. The “B Dorm” at Amherst College was the place they met and held court. Now, it’s the vibe of their new podcast. The show will be free and feature audio released on all platforms, with corresponding video posted on YouTube. They get serious, but have fun–and always keep it real. Drawing from a diverse network of men and women across business and the arts, from the powerful Righteous Media network of hosts and guests, and from former roommates and other friends from their not-so-diverse Little Ivy alma mater. Real-talk with two real friends, who are real smart and real fun. And conversations with real people from Senators to college buddies who have navigated the minefields of divisiveness in society to achieve happiness and success in adult life. They chat about business, culture, entertainment, and whatever comes to mind. Sometimes they get serious, but they never take themselves too seriously. It’s an unapologetic, dorm room style conversation – sometimes controversial, always entertaining: this is The B Dorm Podcast. From George Floyd, to Dave Chappelle, to Joe Rogan, to January 6th, to the upcoming mid-term elections…and whatever issue explodes in the headlines next, this show is the place for you to go to break it down. Don and Jehriko are the men in the arena. But in 2022, the arena should be less like a UFC fight, and more like B Dorm. In a sea of partisan nonsense and weakness, The B Dorm Podcast (B Dorm) is the hottest new morning show-style podcast in America. In the spirit of The Breakfast Club, with the intelligence of Howard Stern and with the edge of Joe Rogan, B Dorm is the new weekly show that’s not afraid to talk race–and culture, music, sports, relationships, politics and anything else on the minds of the dynamic, fun and energizing hosts, Don Elivert (@voiceofdon) and Jehriko Turner (@JehrikoTurner). They have big voices–and big brains. The two former college roommates at elite Amherst College, bring the smarts of a liberal arts education, ear of the streets, and the experience of the boardroom to a next generation media effort. Don and Jehriko met 20 years ago inside their diverse, wild and fun dorm in Western Massachusetts, which became a rally point and gathering center for students of all backgrounds. That dorm was called the “B Dorm”. In that dorm room two decades ago, Don and Jehriko led conversations on everything from macro-economic theory, to Jay-Z vs 2PAC, to Cookie Crisps vs Corn Pops, with friends of all backgrounds. They kept the peace–and kept it real. And that’s what they’re doing now with B Dorm. Other shows talk around race, B Dorm talks ABOUT race. And B Dorm lives it. Don and Jehriko have navigated the perilous world of elite America as black men, and now want to guide a national conversation for the next generation–and for all generations. If you’re bored with Morning Joe, exhausted by Breakfast Club, and infuriated by everything else, B Dorm is the injection of intelligence, realness and fun you need.
