  • Well Researched and a Great Voice

    This podcast is well written, researched, produced and performed. Levin has a beautiful voice, and is an excellent writer. Now more than ever, his work is so important. As white politicians try to erase black history, Levin is making it more accessible. It’s a you to listen to his work and I can’t recommend this podcast enough.
