We are starting a new series on the Antioch Podcast where we talk about the values that we have as a podcast team which make it possible for us to have the kinds of conversations we have here every week. This week, we are kicking off the series with a discussion of how the values of authenticity and vulnerability are qualities that we try to emulate in our podcast conversations, qualities which we think make it possible to have deep and meaningful dialogues about antiracism that go beyond the regular talking points, allowing us to lower our defenses to allow us to talk about our feelings, questions and even insecurities that we have when we deal with issues of race and injustice.
