“Radiolab. I’m writing to you from Johannesburg, South Africa. Listening to the episode “Songs that Cross Borders”, as one example of many, please examine the way that you talk about Africa and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples in this episode. Could they be construed as othering, objectifying? Robert, you in particular. I love this show so much and have been listening for years but you guys let us Black folk down with your unchecked micro aggressions and frankly, racist comments in episodes that deal with Africa and other countries with Black and Brown people.”
