Though the cancellation was unrelated to the current political climate, we regret the timing. However, frequent scheduling issues made it difficult to produce the show that we all wanted to create. Panoply has made the difficult decision not to move forward with the podcast “Our National Conversation About Conversations About Race.” We loved working with Baratunde, Raquel, Tanner, and Anna over the last two years, and are proud of their important contributions to the dialog about race in America. Panoply made the following statement about why they chose to cancel About Race: The last episode is titled “What have we learned?” At the time I am writing this post, some episodes are still available on SoundCloud.

They hosted a lively, multiracial, interracial conversation about “the ways we can’t talk, don’t talk, would rather not talk, but intermittently, fitfully, embarrassingly, do talk about culture, identity, politics, power, and privilege in our pre-post-yet-still-very-racial America.”Ībout Race began in 2015. Panoply has decided to cancel About Race.Ībout Racefeatured four “co-discussants”: Anna Holmes, Baratunde Thurston, Raquel Cepeda, and Tanner Colby. It was included in The Black Experience selection of podcasts, books, TV shows and movies that iTunes put together for Black History Month.
