  • First time listener and now subscriber

    Hello, I just listen to Black Oxygen for the first time. The host Angela, did a great job of making it feel like I was a part of three friends having a conversation. I like how honest she is about what she does/does not know and will/won’t do. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Ranell Washington and this answered a lot of questions I have about how he approaches experiences and creating vibes. I’ve heard/seen Geraud Blanks’ work, but not him, personally. I have more questions - I’... more

  • PHENOMENAL!

    Remember when Gray’s Anatomy, This Is Us or any other show you couldn’t wait for the following week to watch the next episode? This is exactly how I feel about Angela Russell and Black Oxygen! I’m not quite sure what the secret sauce is for me that keeps me coming back for more. Is it Angela? The guests? The questions or authentic conversations? Or is it truly the Black Oxygen that soothes my soul. Whatever the combination is, I recommend this to all of my family and friend because we could... more

  • You owe yourself a deep breath!

    ALL OF THIS! MORE of this! The season three opener needs to be required listening for everyone. The discussions about how to hold space (my head exploded during this moment!) for each other and the way that communities interplay in the process of processing grief was just …. CHILLS! I have CHILLS!

    Subscribe. Download. Seriously.

  • Amazing episodes

    I love this podcast! I always get a lot from each episode but Dexter got me really about to become a birder! It sounds so fun and my daughter is actually really into birds right now. Time to start my neighborhood list. Thanks for the moments to breath.

  • Never heard of

    I am a 60-year-old white guy who just really, really enjoyed the interview with Chris Kilgore. I’ve never heard of Lake Ivanhoe before, just fascinating. And his wise comments about nature and getting outside ring true for all of us.
