    We have an amazing episode for y'all today! We are talking about museums with a special focus on ADAMA (African Diaspora Arts Museum of Atlanta) and we are joined by special guest, Dr. Fahamu Pecou! We talk to our amazing guest about how ADAMA came to be, how hip hop helped him find his artistic voice, and so much more - seriously you don't wanna miss this one.

    Dr. Fahamu Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose works combine observations on hip-hop, fine art, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings, performance art, and academic work, he confronts the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity, challenging and expanding the reading, performance and expressions of Blackness.

  • Introducing: Story of the Week

    Title: Prepping for the Apocalyse from Story of the Week 

    Description: Here's a preview of a new podcast we're enjoying, Story of the Week with journalist Joel Stein. On Story of the Week, Joel chooses an article that fascinates him, convinces the writer to tell him about it, and then interrupts a good conversation by talking about himself. Sometimes the story will be the one everyone is talking about, like the New Yorker article on smoking hallucinogenic toads. Other times we’ll find a story you might have missed, like the one in the Verge about the rock groupie turned hacker who had huge corporations at her mercy. These are stories you’ll tell your friends about. Stories that stick with you long after you forget whatever headline you just doom-scrolled through. Listen to Story of the Week at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/sotw?sid=dive.
