The diversity panel to end all diversity panels, a live finale for season two!

'Diversity' has become a popular talking point across all sectors of work, and diversity panels are regular fixtures of conferences, festivals and corporate events. But once the talk is done, and the warm, self-satisfied glow of attending has worn off — where does the hard work begin? For its season two finale, It's Not A Race teamed up with Audiocraft to present 'the diversity panel to end all diversity panels' with all-star guests Paola Balla, Santilla Chingaipe and Benjamin Law, live onstage with Beverley Wang, for a conversation about the double-edged sword of standing in for 'diversity' and where they would like to see the conversation progress. Also featuring a musical performance by Yeo. Contact us at notarace@abc.net.au or tweet using #NotARace.

Who's on the team? Unpacking POC

People of colour! It's the 'team name' for anyone who doesn't identify as white. But how well does this American term fit into the Australian context, and what are the tensions that lie beneath? We are unpacking team POC with Sangeetha Thanapal, an activist and writer who identified Chinese Privilege in Singapore, Loretta Ross, educator and US reproductive rights activist, and Eugenia Flynn, arts worker and community organiser.

'For us, happy endings feel dishonest'

For many, the apocalypse is a future threat. But what if it had already happened, and we're living in a post-apocalyptic dystopia? It's Not A Race continues its exploration of storytelling by focusing on the way two Indigenous writers are drawing on history to envision future worlds.

Chaotic Century

I am an American who is a big fan of the content put out by the ABC. This podcast is a stellar example of the kind of quality ABC produces. I listened to almost the entire season in one insomnia-fueled night, and I have to say, it was an excellent partner through the wee hours. I was riveted, fascinated, challenged. It gave me so much to mull over. I love content that makes me more thoughtful, educated, and aware, and this is some of the best out there.

Heard about this podcast from a feature on the TBTL podcast. After hearing that story from Beverley on TBTL, I Judy knew i had to check out this podcast. I love the topics that are covered. I like the effective use of humor. Hits close to home as I tend to use humor to deflect painful racial hits. The emotion emitted from the stories is palpable.
Cool podcast

I've listened to the first two episodes, and they're interesting, well produced, and they have a good sense of humour. Looking forward to what's next!
