As someone who couldn’t even dream of programmes like this , a veteran D&I professional and founder of a lecture series THIS is so encouraging and inspirational. Gentlemen I salute you! Peace.
I just listen to your show with the author Diane Abbot great show and you guys are so right I’m an African-American and we have a lot to learn about the civil rights movement in Europe. I can’t wait to read her book. Thanks for the education.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you for doing this :)
I really appreciate the insight you guys give and the hard issues you discuss.
I've only been a listener for a couple of months but this quickly became my favourite podcast. Always always come away from your discussions with new insights and I love your interviews. I also love that you don't always agree with each other.
Brilliant questions and answers that grasp at the root, and rarely covered in the mainstream. Obulu (thank you).

Amazing podcast, always interesting with great guests!
I very much enjoyed this podcast to start with but after series 1, the guys seem to talk about race an awful lot and negativity. Sometimes seeming annoyed about topics that unless mentioned, would not be about race at all. I do enjoy their varied opinions and life experiences though.
Fantastic, interesting podcast! Just started listening from episode 1. Looking forward to hitting up a live show.
Well done guys🙌🏾 #blackexcellence
Absolutely love your podcast! The content is great- just what we needed! Look forward to more..
Super insightful, interesting, refreshing
I’ve honestly enjoyed listening to every word and have learnt soo much from each episode. I really cannot wait for Season 3! Keep it up guys :)
Listening to the podcast puts me in such a fantastic mood. It’s an excellent initiative and it was really needed! I’ve learned so much already and it’s really opened up my eyes about many different topics. Good job guys!!
Loving this podcast, it’s so timely and original. Touches on great topics and no one is shouting over each other other, which is great so you can hear everyone opinions. And lastly this is great for young black and mix race people in the UK, to have a group of black/mix race men to look up to.
Smart guys with underrepresented opinions. Also, bare jokes. Would recommended.
This is an amazing podcast. Well done guys. And I completely agree with the experiences. I’m an undergrad at Oxford and we have intersecting experiences but as you said it’s worth it and no one should deter from applying. Looking forward to the subsequent podcasts
