Theoretikally R & B

Theoretikally R & B

Founded in 2023, Theoretikally R&B (TRNB) is the passion project of longtime college friends. Commonly described as a safe space for R&B, TRNB provides the opportunity to immerse in deep discussion around the soulful sounds, artistry and culture of the genre. Much more than a podcast, Theoretikally R&B is a community dedicated to creating a place to listen, laugh, and learn about all things rhythm and blues. We invite all to join us as we examine and embrace the instruments, artists, and lyrics that define R&B. For Us, R&B music is our love language. We welcome all to communicate with us fluently, consistently and intentionally in this space.
