Came here from a suggestion from another podcast. I’m a writer myself and I was searching for inspiration in other work because i was so stuck on one part of a story I’m writing. I started listening from the Ep Bedtime story but I have NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP. I’m a listener in the USA and its mind blowing how similar the up bringing in London and here can be so similar. You have so much heart in your episodes its so inspiring. Your podcast made me realize how important it is to LIVE to experience before putting anything on paper. Thank you for sharing your experience the way you do. And thank you for continuing to bring such a vivid story of your experience. Thank you.
I’ve always been told by my Black American friends that Black history needs to be understood through music. Well I’ve tried, but I’m not musically gifted and China Anne McClain’s Black history bit in A.N.T. Farm was as far as my ungifted self could understand through music until now. Instead, I read books, like “Caste” and listened to podcasts, like “1918” as the information-gathering that best approximated what the Black experience that they wanted me to feel. But those mostly isolated the experiences of trauma, not life in all of its complexity and richness and connection and insightful life lessons. This is the bridge I needed to understand Black history in the way that my friends wanted me to understand, to feel the music and to understand the culture and life experiences through the music. Thank you for building this bridge. This podcast is absolutely beautiful in both its rhythmic poetry and its heart-felt insightfulness. As a White American living in Kenya with my Rwandan-born/DR Congo-grown partner, I have enough life experiences to believe that you are doing all the stories justice with absolute care and insightfulness. Beautiful. Thank you for this gift. I have always needed this.
Stimulating, rhythmic and always full of surprises. One of the best podcasts ever from a content and sound design perspective.
One of the most innovative podcasts I’ve ever listened to, I’m transported into his stories in such a creative way. I read about this series in a NYT article and was completely blown away listening to it myself. This podcast is seriously a must-listen!!
