#blacklivesmatter podcast recommendations

We have decided not to release an episode today. Like many, we’ve been trying to learn more about black history and our own white privilege. We would like to use this space to recommend and share some of the podcasts that we have spent time listening to this week.

Some have helped improve our history knowledge and education, some are interviews or interesting and insightful conversations, and others are great content produced by black voices, which we would like to help amplify.

  • Have You Heard George’s Podcast

  • Louis Theroux Grounded (episode 4 with Lenny Henry).

  • About Race with Reni Eddo-Longe

  • Time to Talk with Alex Reads

  • Witness Black History, BBC World Service

  • The Dope Black Podcast

  • Code Switch

  • The Diversity Gap

  • The Receipts Podcast

  • Ear Hustle

This list is non-exhaustive! There are many many more we haven’t had time to listen to yet. So if you have any more suggestions, we’d love to hear them.
