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.

These two fellas are hilarious. I truly enjoy listening to their banter about R&B music. They don’t only speak from personal preferences but they know the history of R&B extremely well and introduce me to music I hadn’t previously heard. I definitely enjoy this podcast. Great music and laughs to go along with it.

I really enjoy this ride through R&B. There are times I have no idea what to expect based on the title of the show, but I know I’m in for a good time regardless. Every episode has me laughing, learning, and vibing through the ride … from old school classics up to the new school gems.
I love being reminded of songs I haven’t heard in a while, and appreciate being put onto new ones I can add to my playlists.
You can hear the love for R&B all through each episode, and it makes the whole experience feel intentional, nostalgic, and fun.

This podcast is such a fun, grown space that celebrates everything I love about R&B. The conversations feel open and safe, and each episode touches on different topics within the genre in a way that feels thoughtful, nostalgic, and real. I also love that I’m constantly discovering new music along the way.
The hosts have such different perspectives, and that balance makes every episode interesting and full of personality. If you’re an R&B fan or just love good conversation, this is definitely a podcast worth listening to!
