About the Show

The Cook-Up is a Saturday afternoon experience built for the people of Erie. Every week, host Deonte brings together music, money talk, mental health, culture, and community accountability — because we deserve a show that feeds the whole person.

What We Cook Up Each Week

Five Segments. One Community.

Segment 01

What's Poppin'

News, culture, and what's happening right now — local, national, and in the community. Deonte breaks it down with no filter.

Segment 02

Bag Talk

Financial empowerment for real people. Budgets, credit, building wealth — practical tools you can use this week, not someday.

Segment 03

Mind Matters

Mental health in the open. No stigma, no shame. Real conversations about what we carry and how we heal — with resources to back it up.

Segment 04

Culture Corner

Celebrating Black art, music, and community. Featuring local voices, creatives, and builders doing the work in Erie and beyond.

Segment 05

Real Talk

Relationships, accountability, and how we show up for each other. The closing conversation that sends you into the week with intention.

Community Education Series

Know the Term. Know the Pattern.

Each week, The Cook-Up breaks down one term from the language of social justice, racial equity, and community power — in plain language, so everyone can recognize the patterns and name what they see.

Tune in Saturdays from 1–3 PM to hear this week's term.
