  • Summary

  • 'Homegoings' is a show that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race. Host and musician Myra Flynn explores themes that fearlessly straddle that line between necessary and uncomfortable, as she speaks with artists, experts and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life. 'Homegoings' is storytelling — with a heartbeat. No topic is off the table, and there’s no such thing as going “too deep.” These are the conversations that are our birthright to have, and the stories we are lucky to hear.

  • ‘Don’t come at me with the race thing’: Why one Black voter is backing Trump

    ‘Don’t come at me with the race thing’: Why one Black voter is backing Trump
    Oct 17 2024
    Juan Coleman, a Black man from Vermont, voted for Donald Trump in the past and is planning to vote for him again in this election cycle. And he’s not alone. Though we won’t know the actual numbers until the election, there is an uptick of Black voters aligning with the GOP, Black men in particular. Why? In this season finale, we speak with Juan about his concerns for the Democratic party, and hear from CNN national politics correspondent Eva McKend about the history of the Black vote, and how no demographic is a monolith.

  • Does grief have a sound?

    Does grief have a sound?
    Oct 3 2024
    How do you talk about Black death, in the media, in a way that is consistent, and intentional? How do you memorialize and humanize Black grief without perpetuating trauma? Here on Homegoings, we believe the answer is, and always has been, art. In this episode, we revisit some of the very first episodes of Homegoings, and embark on a quest with Vermont-based musicians to find out: Does grief have a sound?

  • The myth of the big Black penis

    The myth of the big Black penis
    Sep 19 2024
    ***A heads up: This episode contains strong language, unbleeped swearing and explicit adult content*** In our fourth and final episode of the special series “Stereo-anti-types,” we tackle one of the most “biggest” stereotypes out there about the Black body today: the myth of the big Black penis. Host Myra Flynn speaks with Black men, including a porn star, about how this myth affects their lives and their profession, and a female sexologist who knows a lot about the origin of this stereotype that plagues Black men. A heads up that this episode is explicit, and maybe even hard to listen to. But here on Homegoings we believe most of the important stuff usually is.
