Programming Note
Our podcast is about nostalgia and escaping into fantasy worlds. And now is not the time for turning away from our reality, so we’re not going to be releasing a new episode this week. Instead of reading our next book and producing the episode this weekend, we marched, read, and listened and we’re going to keep going. We can’t urge you more strongly to do the same. Whether with your money, your time or your body - we must and will show up for Black lives.
You already know we love reading and we know you do too - check out this incredible resource by Autumn Gupta and Bryanna Wallace with a calendar for pieces to read each day to become a more informed, active ally to the Black community, depending on the amount of time you have to dedicate. Just don’t stop at reading. Education and action need to go hand in hand.
Instead of listening to our podcast this week, check out one/all of these outstanding podcasts by Black activists, journalists, comedians, and artists that we love -
