Mental health and brain injuries in the NFL; bummed-out Barbz; and running back the drama on Tyra Banks. Welcome to the Take Note podcast from Howard University News Service, where we keep you updated on everything from politics and wellness to culture and sports. This is where the stories breathe, the context matters and the conversation stays sharp.
In this episode, the Take Note podcast unpacks …
… how Rondale Moore’s death renews focus on mental health in the NFL
… brain injuries and why more football players don’t protect themselves by wearing Guardian Caps, the padded covers that fit over helmets
… the Netflix docuseries on Tyra Banks and “America’s Next Top Model” — time to run back the drama!
… a look at the intersection of politics and entertainment — from Tupac and NWA to Nicki Minaj and Bad Bunny
… why Nicki’s new political alliances have some of her loyal Barbz in mourning and are pushing others away
… plus much more!
