On this podcast, Black stories are the default.

Meet the Co-Hosts

Katie and Yves go way way way back. Back to the days of popped collars and jellies. Past fashion faux pas aside, they have a timeless love of Black stories. And now, they have a podcast together.

  • Yves Jeffcoat is a writer and podcast host and producer. She is fascinated by the past and how people make history. Outside of her writing and audio work, Yves is a yoga teacher and outdoor enthusiast who’s committed to remaining curious and taking risks.

  • Katie is the author of the forthcoming Prose to the People, an anthology about Black bookstores in the United States. She’s inspired by the stories passed down from her very southern and very Black family.
