Folks, if you're new to risk, you might not know Ray Christian yet. If you are a risk listener you know that Ray is one of our very very favorite risk storytellers.

For years I've been telling people about what's Ray's saying,

Ray's own podcast. And if you haven't heard it lately, wow, is it new and improved? It's bigger and better than ever.

Ray is not just a storyteller. he's a historian and a father well if you've got the time he could

fill you in on everything he's been called but and foremost, Ray is a black veteran from the rural

south who finds himself floating between life in academia, public speaking, storytelling, parenting, and tending to the goats in his backyard.

And he has got stories, really beautiful, remarkable stories,

stories that make you think a little differently

about the world.

In each episode of what's Ray saying, Ray shares his love of cultural history,

personal narrative, and social justice by weaving sound-rich personal narratives, black American history,

travel logs, and raise unique daily life that explores and connects the past and the present from a one-of-a-kind perspective.

Think of Ray as your favorite uncle, a voice you can trust, filled with wise talk and scars and scratches

who makes you feel comfortable enough to listen to things that aren't always that easy to hear and don't worry

You'll meet the goats too

Now we are so happy to be featuring a whole episode of What's Ray saying right here in our

feed today a perfect example of just how special what's Ray saying is.

After getting a response from a 30-year-old letter,

Ray explores a legacy of correspondence from his personal experience writing for

illiterate parents and soldiers to the fascinating role male has played in

black military history. So without further ado I give you Ray

Christian and an episode of what's Ray saying that he calls letters.
