I come from two mixed parents making me feel sometimes "super mixed". This pod cast really spoke to a lot of feelings I've had growing up half-white/half-Mexican American. Thank you.Read full review »

Loved this. The episode on the ajapanese internment camp put a lump in my throat. Thank you much needed

So needed. As a multi racial (black and Asian) I’ve grown up never being able to fit in with one race. This sooo needs to continue!!! I love that I can relate and we have this beautiful multi racial community. But um can I be on this?!

I am mixed, but I never knew others who were. This podcast made me feel like I was not alone with my feelings and articulated how complicated it is. Sometimes it comes with privileges but you never feel like you are 100% of one thing to be considered to be part of that group or culture. Overall,...Read full review »

This is so very needed and wish it would keep going

Mixed race folks need more spaces like this. In agreement with others begging for more stories that we can finally relate to our experiences.

This series is too short. Time seemed to have gone by in a blink of an eye. As someone who is not mixed, I would've never guess being mixed was an issue. I always thought it meant urfortunate enough to get accepted by both race but obviously I'm wrongRead full review »

Very interesting to hear about mixed race people in America— a discussion I feel is very necessary as the population of mixed people grows every year. It’s also really nice to hear stories I feel are very relatable for mixed people.

Really thoughtfully produced and echoed a lot of what I’ve been thinking about as a mixed race kid.

Love this podcast! More episodes, please!!!
compternerz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/18
No one is “pure” and the fact that the podcast series is intent on creating this dialogue of “other” is evident of people working on their concept of who they are - Really disappointing because at no point did the host address this, but the academic from Georgetown did cover the issue -...Read full review »

Lovely, thoughtful podcast with a first-person view of what being mixed race in America feels like. You may think there is no one out there who looks like you, or who feels like you, and this podcast finds those someones.
Doof man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/17
Wow!!! Such an amazing podcast!!! As a mixed race person, you often don't feel like your experiences are valid because how you move through the world is interpreted in so many different ways. A lot of what people see is based off of a stereotype of a certain race. And the micro aggressions...Read full review »

I was super excited about this podcast, but by the end, I was pretty disappointed. I felt like it scratched the surface of what a mixed person in America feels, and the episodes were so short. Since mixed people have layers and layers of complexities, I felt that the episodes didn't really do...Read full review »

As a biracial American with mixed heritage it's comforting to hear others articulate this subject so well. In my opinion, in our modern educated society this should be logical and apparently obvious to everyone. I enjoyed every episode. Thank you.Read full review »

Alex brings light to a community who's problems and experiences are not often discussed. Incredibly insightful and thought provoking.Read full review »

Being mixed race, absolutely loved listening to a podcast that discusses a topic that hasn't been discussed nearly enough. I also liked seeing the podcast branch out into discussing mixed Asians. As a daughter of an Indian father and a white American mother, I would love to see perspectives...Read full review »

As a biracial man (African-American/Caucasian) I have always found myself in the middle of everything. And I love it but a lot of times no one knows the burden I carry and this podcast has shown me that I am not alone and we all belong on the country equally & together. I want more.

As an "other", it is great to hear experiences that are both similar to mine and vastly different.Read full review »

Well worth listening to. Excellent guests, and the host does a great job. I hope the Washington Post considers a second season.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I'm half Asian and I NEVER get to hear the voices of mixed race people. Listening to this felt like an understanding, warm hug. Thank you.Read full review »

Being a multi-ethnic (4+) man, this podcast makes me feel like I'm not alone. Most stories will concern biracial people, which makes sense because they're a lot more common than people like me. It strongly rings of the voice of the producer who is a mixed part-Korean woman. Most of the...Read full review »

I write this hoping more will evolve from these 5 episodes. In today's America the intersection of race, culture, and Americanness are as important as the were in post-colonial America--post American Revolution. Yet, like Treaty of Paris 1783--Indigenous People's & culture are once...Read full review »

Whoa. This is more relatable to me than a lot of other mixed stories. This is because most discussions are about between Americans, not just multicultural, especially with issues at that part of the world. I remember in High School was he first time I heard Islamophobia. 9th grade Theology. This...Read full review »

So refreshing to hear perspectives from multi-racial folks who identify as mixed. I found the episode on "passing" especially well done and quite emotional. Well worth a listen!Read full review »

Great podcast about identity in the US. Helps me know I am not alone in my experiences as a mixed person. Very insightful.

Sweet. Inspiring
Carolyn Davis CA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/17
Just when you think you've got a handle on this race thing, a podcast like this comes along and reminds you how complicated it all is. As a mixed-race, adopted, third-culture adult I've spent a lot of time thinking about identity. Through the four episodes I've listened to, I've...Read full review »

As a multiracial, multi-religion millenial (ugh, I don't like that word), I can really relate to this podcast. Given our recent political climate, it's really important for these stories to continue to be told and the messages to be spread. I hope you continue projects like these, Alex.Read full review »
JasonK93 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/17
While I really appreciate what the host is doing with creating a dialogue about being mixed raced in America. I'm wondering if there will be any stories of males who are mixed raced? In the first episode, all the stories involved females. Disclaimer, I am Korean, who now has a mixed raced...Read full review »

I'm a mixed person who passes as Asian and I appreciate how you approach the complexities with our identities and that you don't just have stories of mixed people that's just white +other. Thanks!Read full review »

Very happy to see WaPo tackling an important issue on identity in America! Mixed race/multiracial people and their experiences are overlooked and this is a great way to look into these sorts of issues. My only issue is that 5 episodes seems a bit short, so a single podcast may seem jumbled due to...Read full review »

I am always on the lookout for media about being mixed race. This lives up to the hope.

Thanks for this completely honest and emotionally connected podcast, your stories and those of the folks with whom you speak are powerful and helpful as a mixed-race person

Nikkster627 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/17
I love the format of this pod, because it takes the time to consider so many different overlappings of identity—and the threads that connect them. Alex is an incredible host and her guests are engaging and always grounded (even if you don't have a background in race theory).Read full review »

Real stories from real people with less host chat. The east coast mash up Americans. I want more!

This is one of the most intimate and enlightening podcasts you'll listen to. For a mixed-race listener, you will find much with which you can empathize. For everyone else: you will learn something new and feel all the feels.Read full review »
