Come Through with Rebecca Carroll

242

Come Through with Rebecca Carroll is a podcast that explores culture, race and identity against the backdrop of the 2020 election. The series will provide listeners with 15 essential conversations they can take with them during this pivotal time. Conversations with prominent thinkers, cultural critics, writers, artists, and politicians on topics like climate change, diversity and inclusion programs, immigration and more are prompted by our host’s lifelong personal inquiry into what it means to form an identity as a black woman against the default American backdrop of mainstream whiteness and white supremacy.

Poignant & Important

Interviews are conducted smoothly, thoughtfully, and with a nuance that peels away the pretense to get to the heart of our relationship with race. Against the backdrop of all things 2020, this podcast helps us all explore the intricacies of race using conversations as a vehicle. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal and brilliant

Come Through is a phenomenal podcast. Rebecca Carroll is one of the most insightful interviewers I have ever heard, going right to the heart of the matter and then digging even deeper. Her guests are also brilliant and they discuss different facets of race, the pandemic, and our future that are both timeless and timely. I absolutely recommend Come Through.

When you only have a hammer

My reading enjoyed the mature perspectives of Walter Mosley and Desmond Mead; Bassey Ikpi was delightful.

Thank you

Thank you for this podcast! I relate so much to you Rebecca. I was adopted by white parents and grew up in a all white community not all that far away from you. I have so enjoyed every episode of you’re podcast. I listened in 2 days! I think I will listen to them all again!

Trash

When you live in an echo chamber and only listen to points of view you agree with this is the result.

Really grateful for this podcast!

Rebecca Carrol is a wonderful interviewer. This podcast is very educational to white folks and couldn’t have come at a better time. Give it a listen and re-educate yourself about the experiences and stories of BIPOC.

Robin the listener

Love this

I love this podcast! Each episode I've listened to is a gem, but it's particularly powerful when Rebecca Carroll talks with individuals she knows or has interacted with before. People share wisdom, insights, and experiences.

Excellent and informative

Ms. Carroll is a great interviewer. As a white man that knows he needs to be a part of the solution but doesn’t know as much as he needs to I consider this podcast a key part of my (re)education. Thank you for adding another piece to my syllabus. I’ve already shared this with a few friends and hope that will allow us to be helpful and compassionate allies. Please keep it up. We all need this.

Rebecca- thank you.

Mind-bending

Hard to believe all episodes thus far were recorded before the protests. But we are seeing the chickens coming home to roost from all the issues discussed on this show.

2020 needed this!!!

Rebecca is opening up the conversations that are needed the most! She uses her unique perspective as a black child adopted by a white family in an atheist home to shine light on, in a well thought out way, the topics that hide deep in the roots of our country. A must listen to now more than ever!

Important podcast for white people to listen to

Rebecca Carroll is a thoughtful interviewer and has clearly put forth a lot of work to make this valuable podcast. The messages are for everyone but I believe they are especially important for white people (including myself) to listen to and learn from. I consider this essential listening.

Should be required listening

This podcast forces me to reckon with every privilege I have as a white able bodied person. This podcast is an excellent resource to re-evaluate the systems we live in and how we are automatically indoctrinated to be complicit and uphold these systems.

Refreshing Perspective on Today’s Issues

Rebecca is an insightful journalist, who finds ways to make you want to listen to the thoughtful perspectives she and her guest discuss!

Must listen for everyone

Thank you for this podcast. I’m white and find the discussions compelling, thought provoking and important for understanding the daily toll white supremacy has on POC. Forces me to really stop and think.
harleyob

Essential

This podcast is essential listening! As a white personal slowly but (hopefully) surely unlearning they habits of white supremacy culture, and learning how I can show up fully and deeply for people of color, Black folks and all others impacted by this country’s history of oppression, I feel heartened and challenged by Rebecca and her guests’ thoughtful conversations.
FeerSumLady

Thoughtful and honest.

I really enjoy these shows, it’s really nice to hear someone trying to process the nature of living as a POC in a nation that has seemed to diminish our worth and voices in the last few years. I rarely get to hear how how people that look like me are feeling and the pain of invisibility is a daily part of our experience. This show has made me feel less alone and I hope that more people find it. Not just POC but also those who need to reclaim their empathy for people that don’t look like them.
gondelman

A really compelling listen!

Rebecca conducts really thorough and fascinating interviews! Her guests (all experts in their fields) have valuable insights, and every conversation is so illuminating and challenging!

Rebecca’s conversations are genuine, informed, and timely. I love an empowered perspective.

Challenged my Mother

The interview with DiAngelo has possibly provoked my mother to, at the absolute least, really think about how she can defend her racist behavior. Which is further than I’ve ever gotten.

Rev. T.D. Jakes

This conversation was so illuminating, because deep faith and love are the necessary basis of blck community resilience & effective social welfare and justice movements. Nuanced explorations of the ways in which POC persevere and fight on, towards a democracy that lives up to its own proclaimed principles of equality.
Nicole_Rai

Nice little gem!

I found the podcast this morning and I’ve enjoyed the episodes thus far. As a black woman who doesn’t often make things about race, I’ve still wanted to find intelligent conversations happening involving black people that come from positions of empowerment. I find that often a lot of mainstream content that comes out are from victim hood perspectives. While I can understood how someone could get to that point, it doesn’t resonate with me. This podcast I hope, will only get better, continue to have many voices with many different perspectives that push, challenge, and test even my thought process on race.

Hooked!

So great! Will be listening all the time!

Awful. Get over yourself.

everyone needs to listen.

Finally! A podcast by a writer I have long admired. Rebecca is a great host who gets the unexpected out of her guests.

A bird of paradise

This podcast is smart, considerate and well thought out. It not only asks smart questions it helps me as a listener to be reflective on how I can contribute to my community and our society as a whole. It is reminding me and inspiring me to do the things I need to do to see the change I want to see in the world.
SeekerSLS

Thank you Rebecca Carroll! Keep ‘em comin’!

I am excited by and love that Rebecca is simultaneously unapologetic, respectful and honest in exploring her questions with her guests, from a breadth of professions and personal experience, as focused through the lens of race and racism in the US as it has and continues to imprint (mostly?) African Americans/those of the “of color” diaspora. Kudos, Ms. Carroll!
HappyFingerSS

Wonderful, honest conversations

Rebecca Carroll is fabulous in these conversations. I’ve been following her since she spoke at Pact Family Camp East in 2016. Her direct, honest approach — “what were you thinking” — is evident here. So is her humanity. Thank you!
n2worldmusic

Exceptional

Rebecca is a very skilled conversationalist. She does an excellent job of engaging and posing interesting questions that promote compelling dialogue. I’ve been a follower of hers on Twitter and I’m delighted to hear her new podcast!
Red2strike

I knew I wasn’t the only one!

This podcast is such a godsend, especially in the time of COVID-19! I’ve always been the one to bring up race, class, gender, intersectionality, history, etc. in conversations only to be shut down by family and community. It’s good to know that finally people are peeling back the layers and understanding these conversations in “realness” are more important than ever in building a just future.

Yaass! Come Through
