Thank you Hana for the love song to Sudan — I wouldn’t have known this beautiful music had you not shared it. I’m Asian American but I got hooked on some of the diaspora episodes because they were so relatable to my own experience — then the hair and colorism episodes hooked me because I am a...Read full review »

Thank you so much for your program. I listen frequently and your voices are so sincere, honest and include current topics. I hope your audience includes all cultures. Hope from Nairobi was especially eye opening. Keep it up!

I love this podcast. Many many favorite episodes. However “Hope in Nairobi” was particularly moving, interesting and thoughtful. Just so good. Thank you for your work!

Loved Leila’s recounting of her time in Cuba and building her pride about her beauty and Blackness. I want to hear more of her story, her time in Cuba and then back in the U.S. So very well done and touching. Thank you for this.

I’m married to the daughter of immigrants … she does speak her language. But I still learned so much. Powerful …

I discover to my great great great pleasure the podcast via another podcast @dinnerforone ( who is Jamaican American living in france) and I am a black girl from Niger and Reunion island .

Luv this podcast. It is a must listen.

The content of the show invokes a lot of interesting questions and the hosts do a good job of making the listener feel invited. However, the content is rarely discussed with actually academics or experts and tends to sway towards informal discussion with little research. Making an uninformed...Read full review »

I liked Episode 55 but I would have liked to see an inclusion of the realities that black women face who don’t have the archetypal black booty. Yes having a booty can be stigmatized - but we can’t overlook how black people (men and women) talk about and talk towards black women who “don’t have a...Read full review »

This show, this show, this show. I can’t explain how much I love listening to it. It feels like a safe place, like belonging and being understood. In a world of hard corners, it’s a soft place to rest up and revive myself. Thank you 🙏🏽

On the zamunda episode I was quite perplexed on how this film was taken in a serious way, like Africa was portraited poorly, I was more on the last portion where they talked about this was just a fun film. The fact that Lesli jones is a sound actor of sound mind whom I assume choose that role, to...Read full review »

Enjoy listening to Head on a Swivel - these are thoughts, feelings, experiences that people of color don’t feel safe discussing or have been conditioned to suppress any uncomfortable feelings about for their own survival sake. Blacks too should be able to talk about things that people not like us...Read full review »

I thought that now that we have a president who is gearing up for war in the Middle East, ensuring Americans do not get a fair price on prescription drugs, ensuring that opioid addicts don’t get the kind of help they need, and striving to remove our 1st and 2nd amendment rights, we could finally...Read full review »

They are honestly really welcoming and friendly. I usually don’t like podcasts, but this one is what I think many of us need to hear. It’s very calming, like I could be on a walk listening to this as a normal. It may not be for everyone, but I’d listen to one you never know.

So good to have this beautifully curated diversity of viewpoints. Something I was longing for but couldn’t put my finger on. The global perspective of multiple people is great, and formatted this way it’s not limited to the hosts and an interview guest as most other podcasts are.

I appreciate this podcast so much. There’s so much valuable information and all of their personal anecdotes are relevant and interesting additions to the topics they’re discussing.

this is one of my fav podcasts. i’m white, so i know this podcast isn’t for me, but i’ve learned so much from it over the last few years, and really started to understand what is meant by “black people are not a monolith” - it’s obvious now, but the diversity and nuance within the black community...Read full review »

As a white man, I listen because I need to challenge the conventional racial narrative I hear every day, and hear stories that do not center the experience of people like me. Thank you for this podcast!

The Stoop is a great podcast about black culture, whether in the U.S or the diaspora. The hosts are well informed, funny and tackle a variety of topics.

You are empowering people to have thoughtful conversations with each other and even with ourselves that enhance our fluency when engaging in deep, emotional topics. Thank you for introducing these conversations in your podcast in such an open, supportive way!
cmandolin81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/29/20
I truly love and appreciate what you guys do for this platform. This is like therapy for me, hearing other black individuals speak on the same issues and perspectives that I have.

Hana and Leila are talking about so many (seemingly) everyday topics with such empathy and love that it is a pure joy, even when it's about the heartbreaking things in life. Thank you for this gem of a podcast.Read full review »
