  • This ain't Texas, it's Africa

    This ain't Texas, it's Africa
    Nov 21 2024

    As Black country music is having its moment, Hana has always wondered why her Sudanese mom loved Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. You can hear country music playing in cafes in African capitals. There is a love of American country music among our African elders, many say they grew up with it.
    While for many, country music is associated with white culture and isn't relatable, for many African elders it holds a very special place in their hearts. Why?
    We explore the surprising histories and the appeal, and follow the story of legendary Ivorian country music duo Peter One & Jess Sah Bi.
    This ain't Texas. It's Africa.

    The Subtle Roast
    Oct 24 2024

    We don't hear alot of personal stories about what it is to be a big man in Black spaces.
    Today we go there with Ronald Young Jr., award-winning podcaster and creator of the hit show “Weight for It.” We stoop it out as he takes us back in time to when he was roasted at church, and unpacks what it feels like to be on the receiving end of ridicule by those who you feel closest to.
