About this listen

... a podcast about how culture and ideas spread among Black Americans, especially outside of mass media.

The focus of the podcast is on Black American culture in general — from food to music, movies, theatre, literature, sports, comedy, fashion, politics, and technology, among other things.

Join me as I speak with professional & amateur historians, keepers of Black cultural traditions, elders, young people, and everyone in between, in discussions that are equal parts informative and entertaining (and, sometimes, weird).
