Gina’s pro-zwart, politiek-maar-vermakelijke podcast is een welkome balsem voor haar gemeenschap. Als ze alleen maar het geraas van buitenaf kon overstemmen. Dru komt om te helpen, maar ze raakt ook gevangen. Gina en Dru zijn twee Afro-Amerikaanse vrouwen die niet kunnen vertrekken, niet kunnen blijven. Het gaat over Amerika. Het gaat over tijd.

With Radiotopia Presents, we’re reaffirming and doubling down on our commitment to supporting independent creators and their ownership of their intellectual property. Because creators own their content, they can pursue additional paths after a series debut, including adaptations and spinoffs of their work.
Each series is developed in partnership with independent producers who received financial, production, and promotional support from Radiotopia to bring their idea to the widest possible audience.
