We want our listeners to learn and be moved and see the world differently -- but what’s the line between those experiences and merely gawking at people different from ourselves? With, WNYC’s Rebecca Carroll, Ear Hustle’s Nigel Poor, Nancy’s Kathy Tu and Call Your Girlfriend's Aminatou Sow.

Werk It: The Podcast is a compilation of some of the best moments from the live event. Both the festival and the podcast are produced by WNYC Studios and are made possible by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with additional support from the Annenberg Foundation.
