“the unity is sub-marine,” so said the late great Caribbean poet Kamau Brathwaite, so let’s dive deep, I’m your host Tao Leigh Goffe, you’re listening to my Sub-Marine Podcast *Get Free.* I am a writer and a PhDJ, that is a professor and a DJ. I teach literature and history at Cornell University, in classes on the global histories that emerge out of imperialism and unfreedom. This show is about getting free. Freedom is a verb. Freedom is an ongoing practice of discovering your yes by embracing sensorial ways of producing knowledge – listening- tasting- feeling – touching – submarine being. Beneath the water, “the unity is sub-marine,” and so let’s go on a specultive deep dive with my guests: theorists, intellectuals, artists, designers: as we discuss the global entanglements of colonialism.

Welcome to this special season of the Get Free podcast accompaniment to "Dirge: Black and Indigenous Hemispheric Burial, a Sound Sculpture," which is a multimedia project curated byyour host Tao Leigh Goffe. In these five episodes you will hear from collaborators on themes of stolen land and stolen life in the Western Hemisphere.
