Season 3 Trailer: Liberation

American Public Media
About this episode

It’s 2022 and we’re taking on two of the most urgent questions of our time: What does liberation look like for Black Americans? And what does it mean to be free? 

Season 3, which premieres on February 17th, offers a compelling sonic exploration into what liberation looks, sounds, and feels like for Black Americans with some of the greatest thinkers of our time. Host Tonya Mosley takes us on a deeply personal exploration — peeling back the layers of how Black Americans are liberating ourselves from the expectations of a colonized existence to help us live richer, fuller, more free lives. 

Meet our production team and take a sneak peek listen!
New episodes drop every Thursday beginning February 17, 2022.
