Hear to Slay Podcast Review

Starring Roxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom, this podcast is sublime and so worth the annual membership. With two seasons and 75 hour packed episodes, Dr. Gay and Dr. McMillan Cottom educate and deconstruct Black feminism down to its very core with such insightful wisdom and dark puckish wit, you’ll wonder how we ever got along without—hello, we did not. They allow their guests—some of the most brilliant and creative women alive—a platform to speak and share knowledge as they prompt them with question after question on everything from popular culture to politics. I started listening on my daily walk last week and am eight episodes in having finished Black Girl Nerd Gang. I’ve learned, been inspired, felt empowered and laughed—titties on the glass had me laughing so hard I cried. I’ve spoken about some of the episodes briefly in my Pandemic Diary; watch this space or there for commentary on future episodes.
