EP. 10 - The Viewer's Choice (IG Live Edition)

Happy Galentine’s Day AKA Valentine’s Day ! We’re finally in the month of February and I got another dope conversation with the beautiful and super dope Goddess Amin B. On today’s episode, we’ll be talking about Yoga! Today is Valentine’s Day, and I thought it would be dope to touch on spiritual/mental health and how Yoga plays a part in mending both of those areas especially during this Valentine’s Day season. For a lot of you guys, Valentine’s day can be a hard day. So instead of us venting about the relationships that failed and hurt us, we’ll be using that same energy to talk about something that can really transform us to be better individuals. 

EP. 9 - Love & Healing- A Conversation With Goddess Amin B

Happy New Month You Guys! I’m back with a quick episode of Nino & Friends. If you follow me on instagram, you know I use the #Supportthehomies hashtag ALL THE TIME. The reason I started using this is because I felt like there was a lot of cool and talented people who I know that have really dope events and products that I think people need to support. This then turned into #SupportTheHomies. On today’s episode, I invite my girl Alexie Young to talk about her brunch “A Black Love Brunch” that’s going down February 15th 11 am - 1pm at the Skyline Conference Room. We talk more about Black Love and the overall event in itself. Please make sure you cop a ticket for the A Black Love Brunch at Brucebecooking.com I'll be back with a new episode next week! :)

EP. 6 - S.E.L.F. (THE BAMBOO SZN CONTINUES) FT - DJ CashEra

I’m back! Did you miss me? Lol I’m playing but, it feels great to come back real quick. (I’m talking a quick hiatus, in a midst of studying for a test). I hope you guys have been enjoying your summer. In February, I did a episode called “Ladies Night” where I had a discussion with my gfs about love and dating. I thought since it’s basically been the battle of who’s a hot boy or hot girl this whole summer, I thought it would be interesting to have the same love and dating conversation with the fellas. So I brought three of my homies (Johnny, Eric, and Dave) to talk about there current experiences with dating/love. We discuss about the Wasting Her Time theory, What a Hot Girl Means to them, any many other love and dating topics. We also have an FIRE ASS SUMMER AFROBEAT MIX from DJ Bonsu. Overall, I hope you guys enjoy this episode. The next episode of Nino & Friends will be coming back in October. Make sure to catch up with all the episodes with Nino & Friends on all streaming sites. Nino & Friends is now streaming on Apple, Google Music, Soundcloud, Spotify and Stitcher. I’m thinking about having a 3rd episode with this topic with Men & Women. What do you guys think? Comment below your thoughts.

EP.5 - The Return of The Hot Boys Ft Johnny Jones. Eric Crawford. Dave Bradley .

On this episode of Nino & Friends, I have a VERY SPICY episode for you guys. I decide to bring my team aka my @invisiblepodcastradio fam to join me on this very special episode of Nino & Friends. The reason why it’s episode so special is because, I’m still on a high of going to the Millennium Tour last week and I thought it would be dope to an entire episode highlighting black culture in the early 2000s that forever changed our childhood/middle school years. I also thought it would be dope to have this conversation because 1. To me this such an underrated era 2. We’re in the moment right now were nostalgia is big thing. So I hope you guys enjoy this episode. Make sure you stay tune for Y2k mix from DJ Cash Era. Be sure to follow @invisiblepodcasradio and @djcashera Follow me on @Iamninoblanco

EP. 4- The Millennium Rewind Ft Invisible Podcast Radio & DJ Cash ERA

Hey guys! I'm finally back with a new episode. I'm always switching my episodes up and I thought I would let my fellas run this episode. So I bought my good friend and co-host of "Kickin' It With Alex & Nino" my homie Alex! I also brought the talented Aced Space to give us some chill vibes with the mix! In this episode, we talk about Nipsey Hussle and his theme of chasing your goals. We decided to take that theme and center the conversation of chasing your goals while balancing a 9-5. Overall, this episode is really special to me just because I get to honor Nipsey and his music on my own platform. Hope you guys enjoy this episode! RIP NIP.

Welcome To Ladies Night! I am super excited to be dropping this latest episode to guys on Valentine's Day. I thought it would be fun to do this episode with my ladies Anita and Timiro Elizabeth from Invisible Podcast Radio. We touch on a lot topics dealing with dating but, we touch on the struggle of being first-generation while trying to date. I feel like there's never been a conversation talking about the positives and negatives of being a first-generation women specifically in dating. I'm happy I get a chance to chat about this on my show. Also within this episode, I have the dope homie djcashera doing a nice 90's/Early 200s RnB Mix for you lovers out there. Let's talk about it guys! Let me know what you guys think about dating now. Follow me IG - iamninoblanco Twitter - iamninoblanco_ Enjoy this episode!

Hi guys! Welcome to the first episode of Nino & Friends. What is Nino & Friends? - “Nino Friends” is a show I created because I really wanted to create a platform to share my thoughts/ups/downs of being a 20 something year old trying to make it in this crazy world. In this episode, with this first episode, I got my good homie Pettycrocker holding it down and doing a dope mix for me. I also discuss more about this show and talk about what the hell is a "BambooSZN". Big shoutouts to @lilpettycrocker for this dope mix. Big thank you to @OJTheNigerian for the artwork. I absolutely love it. Enjoy this episode! Happy New Year. Nino
