Introduction

Welcome to Best Podcasts: Racial Diversity! This guide will point you to some of the best podcasts about racial diversity and by diverse producers. This is one volume in a set of short books I’ve put together to help you find the best audio programs to listen to (of the many thousands available).

This guide is for anyone interested in these topics, and also for librarians and educators — anyone who recommends podcasts for other people.

How to Listen

If you’re not familiar with podcasts or how to listen to them, read the chapter later in this book called How to Listen for some tips.

About the Author

I’m Nicole Hennig, an expert in mobile technologies for libraries. In my 14 years of experience at the MIT Libraries, I worked to keep academics up to date with the best mobile technologies, and won awards for innovation. Now I have my own business helping librarians stay current with new technologies.

Like most librarians, I am passionate about access to information for all. Mobile apps with their touchscreens and speech interfaces are empowering for all ages and abilities —
