‘Chat Sh!t: The Official Rap Sh!t Podcast’ dives into rap, Miami culture, and episodes from Issa Rae’s HBO Max series
HBO Max presents the official after show podcast, “Chat Sh!t: The Official Rap Sh!t Podcast.” Rap Sh!t follows two recently reunited high school friends from Miami. Shawna (a 20-something unknown rapper and hotel reception desk worker) and Mia (a single mom hustling with various jobs) form an unlikely rap group. Their combined efforts might let them find their way out and up in the industry that requires skills, commitment, and unparalleled talent.
On the podcast, hosts Zach Campbell and Jessie Woo explore the newest Rap Sh!t episodes on Thursdays, share their reactions, dole out Miami history, and predict future episodes.
