Radiotopia Presents: Red for Revolution is an audio drama centering intergenerational stories of Black women, queer love, and liberation, starring Jordan Hull, Loretta Devine, S. Epatha Merkerson, Rutina Wesley, Renée Wilson, Alimi Ballard, Jennifer Beals, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Danny Glover, Vanessa E. Williams, adrienne maree brown, Caro Guzmán, Don Daniels, and many others. The heart of the story follows the passionate love affair between jazz singer Lorraine Giovanni and activist Ella Ali.

As Jazmine seeks solace and guidance from her grandmother, listeners are transported back to 1971, where two remarkable women from vastly different backgrounds, with opposing political views and living oceans apart, embark on a romance that defies all conventions.

Okay, so the show is super funny. We’ve all got those awkward diary entries or memories from our childhood that make us so embarrassed. The podcast is relatable and accessible. One thing: PLEASE edit the title of the episode with *NKOTB. It’s New Kids On the Block. Not Kids New On the Block. 🤦

Not very funny. It’s the same ‘joke’/ embarrassments over and over. We get it, sex+puberty = embarrassment.
Great, lighthearted podcast that reminds you how weird we all are in the best way!

Love listening to these old diary/journal entries read aloud by those who rediscovered them. Have found myself laughing out loud too many times in public. Would recommend! Wish they had new episodes coming out still.
Amazing Podcast

Love this podcast. So funny. The only thing I would change is some of the speakers are very irritating and shouldn’t be showcased on the show because of their obsessive clearing of the throat, always saying UM, taking huge inbreaths, or smacking of their mouths. Unfortunately have to skip past these ones. You’d think with something that is just voice based that these things would matter.

This is the show I sent to all my clients for situations when they want to feel better. I always feel better when I’m here. Thank you.

There is something so cathartic about this show, knowing that we are all so strange. As they say at the end of every episode: “We are freaks, we are fragile, and we all survived.” I listen to this for hours on end and it makes me laugh like nothing else. Thank you for bringing joy into my life!

I really like this podcast but would strongly prefer a PG 13 version. I don’t want or need to hear about underage sex. Leaving it in uncut also prevents the people who are the age of the writers (when they wrote it) from being able to listen. This could easily be a family friendly show but as is it’s not.
