Podcasts about soul food junkies

Byron Hurt wears a lot of hats: filmmaker, journalist, activist, mentor and more. He's also brave, if his 2022 film Hazing is any indication. Hazing takes on the subculture of humiliation and often violence that people endure when they wish to join certain organizations, including college fraternities and sororities. It's taboo to talk about hazing if you've taken part in it, but Byron, a fraternity member who's seen it from both sides, does just that. We talk about the challenges he encountered in making Hazing, including something that could have scuttled the film's release two days before it premiered on the PBS Independent Lens series. We also talk about Byron's evolving philosophy as to how he treats the participants in his films, as well as his influences as inspirations in the documentary business. Byron's other films include 2023's Lee & Liza's Family Tree, for the PBS NOVA series, as well as Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes and Soul Food Junkies.

Happy holidays!!! In honor of the holiday season, Tia dives into the African American culinary staple of soul food with Soul Food Junkies. It's all about whether or not soul food is healthy (technically, no), its impact on the African American community (in many ways, good), and it features several mentions of yams and/or sweet potato pie. It's a doc all about African American food, culture, history and how all that trickles down to present day.
