Summary

The Witch Wave fairy podmother and sonic sensei, CC Paschal, has been on a spiritual - and material - journey to save their family's ancestral home *by the end of this month!* Please share CC's GoFundMe widely and do contribute if you are able to!

CC Paschal (she/they) currently heads editorial content and development at the audio production house, Molten Heart. She also teaches audio documentary art, most recently at The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at Maine College of Art & Design. Their book, "Audiocraft, The Art and Business of Making Podcasts that Mean Something" is out later this year from Routledge.

Previously, CC was the series editor of NPR’s critically acclaimed narrative series Louder Than a Riot, about the interconnected rise of mass incarceration and hip-hop culture; as well as Malcolm Gladwell’s Broken Record, and the award-winning independent show about intimacy and power, The Heart. In 2017, CC was a lead producer on Gimlet Media's Peabody award-winning production Uncivil where she honed her genealogical research skills and first discovered her Melungeon / Free People of Color ancestry.

On this bonus episode of The Witch Wave, CC discusses their magical mission to save their family's home, the importance of Black land stewardship in America, and the spiritual synchronicities that helped them heed this ancestral call.

(Here’s CC’s GoFundMe page once again!)

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a bonus episode of The Witch Wave.
0:19.6	Now full disclosure, this episode was originally intended to be just for my Witch Wave plus
0:27.4	Patreon backers as they get bi-weekly bonus content.

1:08.1	And so my instinct, or maybe it was Cece's very powerful ancestors intervening, I would
1:15.5	not be surprised, told me that I needed to get this out from behind the Patreon paywall
1:23.2	and put it on main.
1:25.6	And so that is what we are doing here.
1:29.8	Now I recorded this conversation from my Brooklyn apartment and Cece was in their Brooklyn
1:35.5	apartment, so sound quality is a smidge more cash than usual, because Witch Wave plus
1:42.1	episodes are often sometimes more like fireside chats if you will.
1:47.8	But Cece's story is so compelling and their mission is so important that yes, I'm
1:53.1	releasing it into the wild as is, add free to fill everyone's feeds and hearts and
2:00.8	minds.
2:02.5	Now you might recognize Cece Pascal's name because I thank them at the end of every
2:07.7	Witch Wave and Witch Wave plus episode.
2:11.3	And that's because Cece is essentially the Witch Wave fairy podmother and sonic sensei.
