You're listening to Radio Diaries and this is Nellie Gillis with producers

Elisa Scarsay and Micah Hazel. Hey, this is our producer takeover. Sorry Joe.

Sorry Joe. Before we start today's show we wanted to let you know that right now is Radio Topia's annual fundraiser.

And for the occasion, our team wanted to come and tell you a few of the favorite things that we've heard from the network recently.

Micah, you go first.

So I recently listened to the Stoop episode,

Don't Call Me Ante, which is basically breaking down

like the word Ante, I use it all the time,

a lot of people of color use it all the time it's like a very endearing term and

This episode really just kind of broke down the ways in which it's actually pretty problematic.

I think something the show just really does well is it takes these just everyday things

in my life or everyday things in black culture and it kind of like flips them on the head a little

bit while also just feeling like a very casual like conversation between friends.

Awesome. How many people in your life do you call auntie. Oh my God like pretty much anyone who's

nice to me. How about you, Elisa? So I recently loved this episode. It was a

collaboration between two of my favorite

radiotopious shows, Articles of Interest and Wait for it. They did this story

about plus-size clothes that was the perfect combo of personal stories and

really fascinating fashion history that I had never thought

about.

I'll never be able to look at those shoulder cutouts on t-shirts the same way.

I heard that episode too and I definitely have shoulder cut-out shirts that I don't know whether I'll ever wear again.
