What Do You Mean By That?

214: Behind the Scenes: A Celebration to Kick Off Year FIVE of Dear White Women


Listen Later

This week marks the FOUR YEAR anniversary of the Dear White Women podcast!

From those first few episodes released altogether on April 15, 2019, to now… it’s been quite the ride.  This year, in order to kick off year five (!!!) of the podcast, we thought we’d devote an entire shorter episode to talking about not only the past four years but what we have in store for the future (you didn’t think we’d end with four, did ya?).  

What to listen for: 

  • How the podcast has evolved since its start in April 2019

  • The stand-out episode from this past year – hint, both of us chose Overground Railroad with Candacy Taylor

  • Our personal whys behind doing this for the past four years

  • Where we think the Dear White Women platform goes from here
