“I don’t know how it took so long for me to come across this podcast, but certainly glad I finally did. Darío, thank you dearly for the constellations of thought, word, time, and spirit that you bring into the Creative-scape!”

“Dario Calmese is a wonder. I have never met him but I play with thoughts of him being my BFF. All of the words of greatness that one would use to describe him; would fail. He’s a genius; a humble one. The voice! The intelligence! The cadences in his voice! Then there’s the talent-no words!
This...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast because each episode evokes opportunities for self reflection, and allows you to tap into the collective consciousness as well. It’s juicy on so many accounts; intellectually, spiritually, politically, creatively. It makes my Sunday’s a true delight. Thank you Dario and the...”Read full review »

“I am new to this podcast and oh so happy I found it. While the conversations are engaging, it is challenging to hear the host. Is it possible to move his mic closer or increase his volume to match that of the person with whom he’s talking?”

“The way I was raised—a creative life was frivolous, selfish, a luxury I was not entitled to. But I couldn’t deny my calling. Darío and The Black Imagination podcast gives voice to the creative liberation I’ve been seeking. I’m so grateful 🙏🏽”

“After listening to the Kirby Episode I was motivated, inspired, and excited to learn so much more. So I listened to the episode with Jey and Kwasi of My Uber Life. This was extremely relevant. This episode opened my eyes and also reminded me to trust myself. I’ve been replaying the episode...”Read full review »

“The complexity of Black culture and imagination is rarely seen on the fashion pages and TV shows - it is revealed in the late nights, arguments, and creative triumphs barely spoken about. This podcast gets into those types of hidden discussions way more than a typical “How You Made It” podcast ...”Read full review »

“I really look up to Kerby as a young black designer. Being able to listen to this conversation and hear the authenticity through these speakers was awesome for me. This is definitely something I can say will propel me into where I’m trying to go. Awesome podcast!”

“Two episodes in and this podcast is a new favourite! Far more than a discussion with a successful fashion designer or architect, Dario (host) shares an articulate and calm tone allowing the conversation to ebb and flow. What a joy to hear experienced, thoughtful experts in their field move...”Read full review »
