We’re aware that there’s a tonne of fantastic BLM-focused podcasts out there doing the Lord’s work, however, these are podcasts made by people of colour which we mentioned because we think our listenership will enjoy:
The Read
2 Dope Queens
Another Round
NPR’s Code Switch
The Receipts
Black Gals Livin’
Reni Eddo-Lodge has expressed some discomfort over the spike in book sales for Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race, so try to read a borrowed copy and donate the same amount to a charity if you can. Otherwise, the accompanying podcast to the book (with the same name) is also fantastic.
Also, check out podcast The Heart, who, recently have been doing a series called ‘The Race Traitor’ which can be an uncomfortable listen but is excellent.
For your own minds, we will keep posting podcast recommendations, as well as any links we can find to reading and watching lists, otherwise here are a few links about how to help in more urgent ways:
