Homegoings

a righteous space for art and race

Author: Vermont Public

'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 theres 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.
