Reflections: An Afrofuturism Podcast

Welcome to the last episode of Reflections: An Afrofuturism Podcast!                                                                          ***PSA: Lovecraft S1E7 is mentioned! There is also slight explicit language *** In this episode, I speak with my TA (teacher's assistant) Jada Similton. I have gotten the privilege to study beneath her while taking this afrofuturism course. This episode recounts the foundational elements of afrofuturism and helps find effective ways to identify black speculative works in our everyday lives. Thank you for tuning in to my very first podcast!                                                                                   "The imagination is the ultimate renewable resource" - DJ Spooky  Info: [email protected] Music: "Sayless" - Sequoia Snyder (available on all streaming platforms) Disclaimer: Individuals on this podcast speaks for themselves.

We're back for episode 2 of Reflections: An Afrofuturism Podcast!  Can we just take a moment to shoutout black women?! In this episode, I speak with Star Trek and Cosplay enthusiast, Charlotte Bachelor.  We are both taking the same Afrofuturism course and had much to say about our takeaways from the class and our overall appreciation for black women in the arts. Let me also be clear, Charlotte has some plans ahead. Listen to see their plans for a better world! Music: "Sayless" - Sequoia Snyder (available on all streaming platforms) Disclaimer: Individuals on this podcast speaks for themselves.

Welcome episode 1 of Reflections: An Afrofuturism Podcast! Dr. Julian Chambliss is a historian and comic writer who currently serves in the Department of English at Michigan State University. He also so happens to be my professor for the Afrofuturism course that inspired this podcast! In this episode, we discuss the history of Black Panther, CP time (colored people time), and more. Dr. Chambliss's research on real and imagined cities provides an interesting lens on how afrofuturism acts as a tool to think about possible future spaces.  Music: "Sayless" - Sequoia Snyder (available on all streaming platforms) Disclaimer: Individuals on this podcast speaks for themselves.
