As a BIPOC individual myself it is often hard to find works that represents me. Often, I have to reimagine none POC characters as POC, which as you can imagine, is nowhere near as satisfying. I have recently been making the conscience effort to get more media from BIPOC creators, but it hasn't been easy. I am also not a big podcast person. They don't really appeal to me in the ways that music or books do, so I really didn't much get into them. That being said, when I heard about a story about the BIPOC experience set in the 1920s, I knew I HAD to support this, no matter how I feel about podcasts in general. So I decided to give Woodmother's Workshop a listen. I DON'T regret my decision one bit! Their voice is very calming and soothing, but also engaging. The productions values improve with every episode. The history and the reasearch are superb, and the joy they get out of reading the society slants at the end of their podcast is beyond infectious. If this is their "starter, throw away podcast" now, I am very hopeful for their future podcast endevors, and will be on the edge of my seat until their "GateCity Blues" drops! If you haven't listened, please do so now! I promise you won't regret it!
