Episode 03: Seeing the Unseen with Joshua Kissi

In Bonus Episode 01 of The Washed Process, hosts Carter + Kenny each take a few minutes to list out their favorite coffees from 2022, some of which were featured on this podcast and others that weren't. Additionally, both share some of their favorite moments from this inaugural season such as when musician Jonathan Ogden made coffee using tea equipment, when photographer Joe Greer shared about the making of his newest book, how director and photographer Joshua Kissi helped Google reinvent the way phones capture skin tones, and more. Finally, both hosts take a few minutes to share a bit about what making this podcast has been like for them, what life has looked like both during and after putting the season out, and what to possibly expect in the future. Note: You must listen to the episode to hear how each coffee ranks :) Also, thank you for listening to this show. It's not taken for granted that thousands of people have listened to this podcast and given time of their lives to hear from some of today's top creators, artists, and humans discuss their journeys with life, faith, creativity, and transformation.

In Episode 08 of The Washed Process, Carter + Kenny talk with author, speaker, spoken word and hip-hop artist, and all-around renaissance man, Propaganda. They share a particularly hard-to-find coffee roasted by Tulip House, sourced from two regions in Ethiopia. Like our guest, this coffee starts in one direction and then zigs when you think it's going to zag.  Prop shares his paradigm on collaboration, and walks us through how he creates space for people to use their expertise and leaving room for him to do what he does best. They dive into the role humility plays in collaboration, and how to celebrate when people are at their best. Later in the show, Prop talks about how gospel music is central to the Black American experience, and how mainstream hip-hop artists have elements of faith in their music as a natural expression of life. Prop shares his favorite albums, tells Carter + Kenny his least favorite phrase, and more.  Connect with Propaganda Site: prophiphop.com IG:@prophiphop Prop's Book: Terraform Terraform Cold Brew This Episode's Featured Coffee: Tulip House  Flash Brew Coffee Recipe: (Chemex method) 30g Fresh ground (medium-fine) coffee 250g Ice 250g Filtered Water heated to 200F Place 250g ice in the Chemex.
