Podcast Blackout: Amplifying Black Voices

Due to the recent protests against racial violence and police brutality in the United States, we (alongside other podcasts) will be participating in the Podcast Blackout and will not be releasing our regularly scheduled episode for today. We have chosen to use this platform to help spread awareness about the issues our country is facing, and encourage you to do the same! Whatever platform you have to make your voice heard, we ask that you take the time to speak out. Instead of listening to us ramble for the next 60-90 minutes, check out some of the podcasts and radio shows we've listed below to help educate yourself and others on race in America.

 

We encourage you to do what you can to fight against racial injustice. Support, protest, donate, and educate yourselves — we will be doing the same. To our black listeners, although we can never truly understand what you're going through (and have gone through in the past), we will stand with you and fight to end racism. Your lives matter....they always have and they always will.
