NPR’s award-winning Code Switch team will launch a podcast this month exploring how race and culture collide with everything else in people’s lives. With a rotating cast of Code Switch reporters, editors and guest contributors, the podcast will invite listeners to re-examine their perspectives about race and identity in ways that might inspire, entertain, and challenge them. The podcast will be hosted by NPR’s Gene Demby (@GeeDee215) and Shereen Marisol Meraji (@RadioMirage)
“Code Switch has become an essential source for unflinchingly honest while empathetic discussions about race, ethnicity, and identity,” said NPR’s Senior Vice President of News and Editorial Director Mike Oreskes. “It’s a crucial moment for these conversations. It is important to involve as many people from all backgrounds as possible. This new podcast expands the Code Switch team’s platforms to engage with audiences seeking greater perspective on these questions in their lives and in our world.”
