Summary
Welcome home y’all!
On this MiniPod hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross answer a question we’ve gotten many times: why “Native Land” Pod?
The hosts explain the inspiration behind the title of the show, and the show as a whole. Drawing from their own experience, they critique mainstream news, share how they came together, and why they felt they needed to create a new “home” for their audience.
You can find the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing, the Black National Anthem, at this link.
The audio for this episode is from promotional material created for the launch of the podcast.
