Black History Excellence

One of the most interesting podcasts I’ve listened too. The amount of historical knowledge presented in this show is amazing. The two hosts really keep the topics engaging. Plus the amount of Black history in this podcast is amazing. So many Black historical figures that I never knew about until I discovered this podcast. I hoping that we get a third season.
Great!

Urban Roots is a great podcast that’s definitely worth a listen. I appreciated learning so much about Cincinnati’s urban past, especially how racial inequality is literally built into the city’s infrastructure. The podcast also features interviews and oral histories with locals, which I found to be very interesting, as their historical perspectives offer valuable insights for urban politics today. These narratives of the past are critical for anyone interested in charting a course for a more just, equitable, and sustainable future. Overall, this is a fun and informative podcast that I highly recommend!
