- Always worth the listen
This is one of the most thought inspiring and provoking podcasts out there. I always learn new things and appreciate getting an inside opportunity to hear from a community that I am or as familiar with.
As a white woman, I aim to expand those who I learn from and this podcast is an incredible wealth to me.

I love this podcast for the diversity of subjects that are covered from perspective that speak to me and that I seek out. Thank you for the January 6th special investigation. That was so informative to hear from people of color that were directly involved in investigating the attempted coup of white supremacists. Really amazing and vital work. Now I know why there have been so many guest hosts for Ms. Chideya but they’ve all been great. Please keep up this brilliance!

I’m so glad I found this podcast. The January 6 series was a wonderful antidote to my daily increasing dread fueled by fascist white supremacy and the upcoming election cycle. Thanks to everyone — and especially the investigators — for truly inspiring work.
Apple Podcasts1zarazenUnited States2 years ago - Jan 6, An American Story
This special 6-part series is riveting and so important for every American to hear. As we approach the most important election in our history, what happened on Jan 6, 2021 will be front and center. We all must understand the events leading up to the attack on our Capitol and the ensuing events following the attack and make an informed decision when casting our vote.

I don’t know how many 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ratings they will allow from me. But I wouldn’t know half of what I know about what’s happening in the world or within the Black world if Farai didn’t focus and report on it. I had no idea half of the guests even existed because mainstream isn’t covering them. I have admired Farai for a while. I have learned so much from her writing and journalism. 💐 Keep doing it girl, you do it well. 👍🏾🫶🏾
