you know and welcome to our national conversation about conversations about race.

This is the bi-weekly multiracial podcast where we discuss the ways we can't talk, don't talk,

would rather not talk, but intermittently, fitfully, embarrassingly do talk about culture, identity, politics, power, and privilege in our pre-posts, yet still very racial, America.

You can say all that, or just call this show about race, which is how you should search for it

in your podcast software, by the way.
