Anti-Racism

Code Switch

• Code Switch explores how race affects every part of society — from politics and pop culture to history, food and everything in between. This podcast makes all of us part of the conversation — because we’re all part of the story.
• If you like books as much as I do, then I would recommend listening to their Battle of the Books episode where they talk about the books they think were best to read during the pandemic. I got a lot of good book recommendations from this episode and their other episodes like it.

Pop Culture

Still Processing

• In Still Processing hosts Wesley Morris and J Wortham chat about culture in the broadest sense. That means television, film, books, music — but also the culture of work, dating, the internet and how those all fit together.
• Start with the episode called Keanu Reeves Will Be Your Mirror where Wesley Morris wants to get to the bottom of Keanu Reeves — and to understand “why we get so much out of a movie star who appears to give us so little.”

The Read

• Join bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast The Read, covering hip-hop and pop culture’s most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.)
• Start with the episode called Best of 2022 where the hosts reminisce about all of hilarity from the previous year.

I hope you enjoy celebrating Black History Month through listening to these podcasts and let me know in the comments what podcasts by black creators I need to add to the list.
