I'm not sure I can be the one to explain it to you, but if you've got 90 minutes and a good pair of headphones (the volumes a bit low) here's a video of Leonard Susskind explaining very accessibly the gist of black holes and the information paradox;

The lecture is from 2008 though so it isn't technically cutting edge, but I think you'd still find it pretty satisfying even with as much as an undergrad education in physics.
