Dominic Lawson , one of podcasting’s biggest winners – 24 awards and counting! – is back with a NEW season of Black is America.

His award-winning podcast highlights little-known African American figures who helped write the story of America. Join us as we shed new light on lost chapters in our nation's history. Hear the amazing, inspiring accounts of Black American inventors, heroes, scientists, entrepreneurs and so much more.

While racism is a common theme, it is not the central theme. These stories focus instead on what Black people have contributed in spite of it, and the impact of those contributions shows clearly that African American History is American History.

In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele

Comedian Owen Thiele is an admirably bad sleeper - and while he’s up basically every hour of the night, he’s obsessing over how to become a household name. He might be an undiagnosed insomniac but he’s a self-diagnosed narcissist. Melatonin has failed him, so he’s turned to podcasting in the wee hours of the night. If he’s not going to get any rest, he might as well solve humanity’s oldest question: how the **** do I become famous? Follow Owen each week on a new adventure as he attempts (and sometimes succeeds!) to gain notoriety, in the way only Owen can – with candor, laugh-out-loud humor, and biting self-awareness. Hopefully, he doesn’t fall asleep first…
