Scene on Radio
Scene on Radio is a two-time Peabody-nominated podcast that dares to ask big, hard questions about who we are—really—and how we got this way. Our latest is Season 7, Scene on Radio: Capitalism. Previous series include Seeing White (Season 2), looking at the roots and meaning of white supremacy; MEN (Season 3), on patriarchy and its history; The Land That Never Has Been Yet (Season 4), exploring democracy in the U.S. and why we don’t have more of it; The Repair (Season 5), on the cultural roots of the climate crisis; and Season 6, Echoes of a Coup, the story of the only successful coup d'etat in U.S. history, in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898. Produced and hosted by John Biewen, with collaborators, Scene on Radio comes from the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. The show is distributed by PRX.

Got Hooked: So awesome.

I listened to the Capitalism series and got hooked that now I’ve started back through all seasons. So well done - love the very professional straightforward approach to educating the listeners from a different perspective. I seek reasons to be alone or work on a project around the house where I can put on headphones and sneak in an episode or 2 or 5!!!

Was hoping for an academic deep dive into capitalism, instead I got a politically driven and skewed take. You all can do better.

I recently came upon this show while walking in the CO foothills. I have learned so much and have been shocked by many of the atrocities of the white man. Thank you for putting together a thought provoking podcast.
