Our TOPPODCAST Picks 
Stay ConnectedEvery society runs on stories it mistakes for facts. In America, those stories shape who gets help, who gets blamed, and who is left out. “Not My Narrative” is a podcast and essay series from Next City that debunks the pervasive myths that have been used to justify neglect, inequity, and the status quo — and elevates the people proving those myths wrong.
Each episode pairs a podcast with three original essays. Together, they trace the origins of one stubborn myth that’s been handed down through politics, schools, and culture; document the harm it causes; offer a counter-narrative rooted in truth and justice; and highlight the leaders who are driving positive change by living out a different set of assumptions.
