PARSE is a podcast club about race in the United States who get together and have productive, brave, and even fun discussion about issues like reparations, whiteness, and Beyoncé.
Podcasts Against Racism Supporting Equity (PARSE)
PARSE is an alternative to book clubs which are terrific fun AND can sometimes a significant investment of time. Podcasts generally last about an hour and can be consumed while accomplishing your household chores, workout, or commute.
The word parse is a verb. Our PARSE will also be a verb, meaning you will be invited to contribute to the conversation. You are also encouraged to actively listen with intention and mindfulness. Whether contributing, listening, or turning our conversation into action in our community, be assured PARSE has been and will always be a verb.
