The Stoop

Listen at thestoop.org

The Stoop podcast explores stories from the Black diaspora that we don’t always share out in the open. Hosts Leila Day and Hana Baba start conversations about what it means to be Black, and how we talk about blackness in America, and globally. It’s a celebration of Black joy in all its diversity, with a mission to dig deeper into stories that we need to talk about.

The Stoop originated as a series from Radiotopia Presents, a podcast of limited-run, artist-owned series from new and original voices.
