Whether you're interested in learning Black history facts you weren't taught in school, or soaking in discussions about social issues and pop culture, there are countless ways to educate yourself. You could read books like Saeed Jones' How We Fight For Our Lives, a memoir about coming of age as a gay Black man, and spend a Saturday at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (or another black history museum near you). If you prefer listening, consider podcasts during Black History Month, and in doing so, support Black artists and journalists.
Back in 2012, NPR touched on the history of Black voices in radio when it remembered "pioneer" Harold (Hal) Jackson, one of the first well-known Black sports announcers. Jackson had multiple shows in New York City in the '40s, and went on to cofound Inner City Broadcasting, one of the first media companies owned entirely by Black people. And this story only scratches the surface. Since then, Black disc jockeys, radio hosts, and podcasters have not only followed suit, but have also paved their own ways in the media world.
Here are 13 podcasts that should make it to your Black History Month must-listen playlist. They cover everything from becoming an adult as a Black woman to staying safe as a Black activist and more.

The Cut: How I Get It Done: MSNBC Host Joy Reid
Joy Reid on how to make it all work…
Joy-Ann Reid is the host of MSNBC’s AM Joy, a weekend morning talk show about politics that averages almost 1 million weekly viewers. In addition to her TV work, she hosts a podcast and has written several books, including a history of the contemporary Democratic party, Fracture: Barack Obama, the Clintons, and the Racial Divide. Last summer, she published The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story, in which she explores the toll of Donald Trump’s presidency on immigrants, women, people of color, and the country at large. She lives in New York with her husband, who is a documentary film editor for the Discovery Channel, and her three children. Here’s how she gets it done.

Washington Post: How would we repair the damage in a post-Trump America?
THE MAN WHO SOLD AMERICA: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story - By Joy-Ann Reid. William Morrow. 304 pp. $27.99
THE DEATH OF POLITICS: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After TrumpBy Peter Wehner. Harper One. 264 pp. $25.99
I fear for the post-Trump era. That is when the irresistibly polarizing feelings this president elicits — Are you for Trump or against him? Where do you stand? — will intersect with the fight over how to repair the harm he has inflicted. The task is essential. But the diagnoses are so divergent, the stakes so consequential and the emotions so raw that meaningful agreement on how to move forward (and what “forward” even means) is hard to imagine.
Two books by high-profile political commentators, a Trump critic on the left and one on the right, preview this standoff. Individually, they read like standard Trump-era books emanating from the #resistance and #NeverTrump worlds: Both are passionate, well-intentioned and certain to draw approving nods from their respective audiences. Read together, however, they reveal that the divisions after President Trump — not just between critics and supporters but within the wide range of the opposition — will multiply. The path from “where do we stand” to “what do we do” is arduous; it’s the difference between words and work, between being righteous and being right.

Mediaite.com: Joy Reid - ‘It Feels Like the Seeds of a Cover-Up Are Here’
On MSNBC this morning, Joy Reid talked with her panel about what Attorney General Bill Barr will ultimately do now that he’s reviewing the full Mueller report, even suggesting possible “seeds of a cover-up.”
In a segment first flagged by The Nation‘s Aaron Maté, Reid asked if there’s “any reason to have any confidence in William Barr here.”
Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said, “So far so good. The letter says all the right things, and he’s really adhered to the letter of the regulations, which is good.”
Right now, he added, all they can do is wait and see, but he’s encouraged so far.
Reid read from Barr’s letter––the part where the AG pledged “as much transparency as possible”––and said, “I remain cynical.”
BlackEnterprise.com: Joy Reid Is Taking MSNBC's TV Viewership To New Heights.
As a political analyst, author, and host, Joy Reid is known for asking the questions others shy away from and pushing people to tell the truth despite what side of the political spectrum they’re on. The Harvard graduate began her career in radio at Radio One and later transitioned into digital reporting for local and national outlets such as The Grio and the Miami Herald. In short, Reid is a Woman of Power.
And now, thanks to Reid and her team, in 2018, AM Joy scored their third straight year of growth on weekends. And the show became the No. 1 show in African American total viewers across all cable during the time period of Jan. 1 – Dec. 30, 2018.
NewYorkTimes.com: Rashida Tlaib’s Expletive-Laden Cry to Impeach Trump Upends Democrats’ Talking Points
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had only been in office for a few hours when a handful of Democrats defied her persistent calls not to begin the new Congress by talking about impeachment.
Just after Pelosi was sworn in Thursday, longtime Democratic Reps. Brad Sherman of California and Al Green of Texas introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. That evening, newly elected Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan riled up a supportive crowd by calling the president a profanity and predicting that he will be removed from office.
Elle.com: Joy Reid Is Quietly, Steadily, Stealthily Changing the Game for Women on TV
A weekend-morning MSNBC show, lodged firmly in the posthangover, prebrunch hours, wouldn’t ordinarily be the stuff of trending topics. But the rules have changed since November 8, 2016. Now Reid’s show, AM Joy, regularly pulls in viewers, and 2017 marks the first time in 16 years that MSNBC beat out CNN in the Saturday-morning time slot. Twitter swells with real-time reactions from #Reiders, especially when Reid schools a guest in her trademark patient, no-nonsense fashion. (After Shonda Rhimes retweeted a clip of Reid calmly demolishing a guest who was spouting Clinton Foundation conspiracy theories—appending the comment “Just in case you’re wondering how to dismiss foolishness”—Reid confesses, “I died. Oh, I died!”) Given the cacophony of cable news, where the loudest panelist often wins, Reid’s approach has few antecedents on the right or the left, but perhaps that’s why she has so many newly minted fans: In a sensationalist climate, she refuses to let facts wriggle out of her grasp.Read more here.
Variety: How Joy Reid Took on Trump and Became MSNBC’s New Star
When Joy Reid takes over MSNBC’s broadcast for two hours each Saturday and Sunday, she knows she has to walk a tightrope. Her show, “AM Joy,” is supposed to have a broader perspective than the rat-a-tat-tat breaking-news coverage that normally fills MSNBC’s dayside grid. But in this current news cycle, headlines are always breaking.The trick, sometimes, is to nod to the news but use it to build up a bigger idea. “We want to keep adding to the story we are focusing in on,” Reid says. “It’s part of the job, to be flexible and nimble with the news cycle, because it’s so crazy.”Read more here.
Women's Wear Daily: At Work: MSNBC Host Joy Reid on Sprucing Up Her Look for TV
“When I first started as a contributor for MSNBC I was dressing casually,” explains the “AM Joy” host from her 30 Rockefeller Plaza office in New York. “My concept of dressing for TV meant putting on a blazer.”When Reid eventually launched her first show “The Reid Report” in 2014, NBC executives offered her help from stylist Mario Martinez, who gave the Harvard alum a style makeover. “I used to wear a lot of black, but the big change he helped me make is that I can wear color,” she explains. “That was a big discovery. Now I love to wear a lot of color and it doesn’t have to be about just a blazer. I can dress up in a cool, interesting, feminine way.” Read more here
The Hollywood Reporter: MSNBC's Joy Reid on Election Day Predictions, Donald Trump's Scar on the GOP
From my recent interview with Jarrett Hill:This is the latest in an ongoing series of one-on-ones with the political pundits who have been at the forefront of the cable-news conversations this election season.If you’ve ever tuned into weekend mornings on MSNBC, you know the ever-appropriately named Joy Ann Reid, host of AM Joy. But if Saturday and Sunday mornings aren’t your jam, that’s ok, because MSNBC is getting its money’s worth out of Reid, with appearances on nearly every show they have at one point or another.In her profile, I described Nicolle Wallace as “delightfully Republican,” Reid, in a lot of ways, may just be her liberal counterpart with her trademark smile and infectious laugh.Getting her start in local news in Miami, and with a Harvard education, Reid is one of the brightest bulbs in the bunch, providing analysis on the biggest stories of the day, alongside some of the heavy-hitters in news, day in and day out.Read the whole thing here.
Refinery29: What It's Really Like To Cover This Election As A Black Female News Anchor
NOVEMBER 1, 2016, 11:00 AMThe 2016 election has been historic for any number of reasons, not least of which is the emergence of Hillary Clinton as the first woman to gain the nomination of a major American political party. It’s a fact that often gets glossed over in coverage of a race whose narrative has been dominated by a reality star with a vulgar way with women. But in just over one week, the United States could join countries like Germany, Liberia, Great Britain, India, Israel and even Pakistan, in finally electing a female head of state.Read more here.
