The Table Is Ours

Black people in every industry – entertainment, sports, politics, culture – have worked hard to forge new paths and make change, and we want to talk about it. On The Table Is Ours, hosts Kirby Dixon and Amira Lewally are doing exactly that. Instead of asking for a seat at the table, we are building our own. Through open, honest and deep conversations we’ll learn how Black identity has informed, empowered and fortified the lives and careers of our Black faves. Listen up, because we are only getting louder.

The Real Question

The Real Question is a show that holds space for life’s tough questions. Each episode, a guest brings a personal question they’re grappling with, and Chaplain Mauricio Bruce helps them find an answer. This season, our focus is on future-oriented questions – those that start with ‘Should I…’ 


Mauricio sits down with guests who are contemplating big and small changes in their lives — whether it’s habits, careers, or relationships. In every episode, he asks the pivotal question: “Who do you want to be and what’s the best path to get there?”


The Real Question is produced by Not Sorry Productions, a feminist organization that produces podcasts, educational content, live shows, and immersive experiences with the explicit goal of addressing the spiritual needs of its participants. Through community, rigor, and ritual, we treat traditionally secular things as if they were sacred. To learn more about what we do, visit https://notsorryworks.com/

Every Outfit

After spending years dispensing bitchy fashion commentary on their viral Instagram account Every Outfit on Sex and the City, hosts Chelsea Fairless and Lauren Garroni realized that they have highly specific opinions about other things, too. Every Outfit is a weekly show born from our deeply unhealthy, lifelong obsession with fashion and popular culture. It’s like The View (but less geriatric) meets Fashion Police from two best friends who have spoken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but have also done SponCon for vibrators. New episodes every Friday. Read More

In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson

"In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson" presents a surprising and original portrait of Lady Bird Johnson, told in the former first lady's own words -- from over 123 hours of her White House audio diaries, heard here largely for the first time ever. It recasts Lady Bird's role in the Johnson White House as her husband's closest advisor and most trusted political partner and provides history-making revelations about LBJ's time in office. It's the story of how one vastly underestimated woman navigated the power, politics and polarization of her era to become one of the most influential members of the Johnson administration... even if we never knew it. An eight-part series from ABC Audio & Best Case Studios. Hosted by New York Times bestselling author Julia Sweig. Read More

And now he’s hosting a podcast. In each episode, Venkatesh will reveal what he learned in Silicon Valley and talk with the people he met along the way who are building and running the digital world, and those who are using it in a signal way, digging deep into their motivations and challenging their priorities.

La Brega

La Brega tells stories of the Puerto Rican experience.

uote>


In Season 3 of La Brega, we’re bringing you stories of Puerto Rico’s champions. We’re going to go to the ballfields and cultural battlegrounds where carrying the flag takes on even more meaning. We’ll meet fighters who have represented us in courtrooms and in boxing rings, and icons who have worn Puerto Rico on their sashes and their jerseys. We’re going to ask: what do we learn about Puerto Ricanness by spending time with our champions? 


La Brega cuenta las historias de la experiencia boricua.

En esta tercera temporada, te contamos las historias de personas y símbolos que representan a Puerto Rico. Iremos a los parques y campos de batalla culturales donde llevar la bandera significa algo más. Conoceremos a campeones y campeonas que nos han representado desde los cuadriláteros hasta los tribunales y que han llevado el nombre de Puerto Rico en sus cintos y camisetas. Vamos a explorar qué aprendemos sobre la puertorriqueñidad cuando conocemos mejor a nuestros campeones y nuestras campeonas.
