An all English Episode | We had the pleasure of hosting a live show Chenjerai Kumanyika, a Peabody Award winning co-executive producer and co-host of Uncivil Podcast. Chenjerai is an activist, a researcher, journalist, an artist who works as an assistant professor at Rutgers University’s Department of Journalism and Media Studies. He was invited to Amsterdam to give a keynote speech at the annual Oorzaken (Podcast) Festival.

For the ol skool listeners he was the founding members of the rap group The Spooks who were active in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Even Mariam recognised Things I've Seen! We discuss the genealogy & politics of our names, being the only or few black people ☠ at Podcast events & festivals even in the U.S.A...😱🤯, how he ended up in the world of podcasting and what he likes the most about it, how podcasting has disrupted US media and why we (Dipsaus) decided to turn our backs on the public broadcasting & podcasting world in the Netherlands. 

We also subjected him to our recurring segments: the BBBBBBBBBBBBs as well as our DDDs... Chenjerai recommends reading Heavy: An American Memoir by Kiese Laymon, Mariam recommends watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Ebissé recommends binging on the Netflix Series Turn Up Charlie starring her Mancrush All Day Every Day. 😍🤪
