The My American Meltingpot podcast has returned for a special summer series.
Normally, I would have taken the summer off from the podcast, to relax and refresh, but I just couldn’t put down the mic, when there is just so much to talk about. But rather than rehash the day’s news, respond to every new event, or simply continue producing regular full-length episodes about race and real life, I decided to do something a little different.
For the next five weeks, I’m going to be hosting the Revolutionary Readers Summer Book Club here on the My American Meltingpot podcast.
Revolutionary Reads
I’m going to be sharing some reviews, recommendations, and interviews with authors. These are going to be short episodes that will hopefully inspire you to read and learn and take action in these crazy times we’re living in. I’ll be talking about fiction, non-fiction, books for kids and teens. I’ll be sharing about the books I’m reading and why. I’ll offer suggestions for books to help you cope and even books to make you laugh when everything else seems to be falling apart.
On this first episode of the series, I share my thoughts about the powerful new novel, Exile Music by Jennifer Steil.
I hope you enjoy the series and this episode – and our snazzy new podcast logo! If you do, please take the time to leave a rating or review on Apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. FYI, you can now listen to the show on Spotify.
Resources for More Revolutionary Reads
If you’re looking for more examples of revolutionary reads to dive into right now, please check out my curated lists on bookshop.org. I have books about American History from a decolonized perspective, books about race and racism, and novels with multicultural themes. I guarantee you’ll find something to spark your inner revolutionary. Also, by purchasing your books from independent booksellers like bookshop, you are supporting the arc of justice bending towards equality between the common man and big business. Think about it.
