Join the #TryPod Movement - We'll Walk You Through It!

March is officially #TryPod month on twitter! Don’t know what any of that means? That’s okay! Let us explain. People who love podcasts loooooooooove podcasts and they’re always trying to get other folks to love podcasts too. Well, count us in - as it  happens, Allegory produces one of the best pods out there.

The Human Kind Podcast is a 12-part series that features conversations about race. It’s smart, it’s educational,  it’s fun and it’s sooooo addictive. If you’re going to "Try A Pod," it’s the perfect pod to try. 

Now, if you’re a newbie, don’t you worry, that’s what #TryPod is all about. You have two ways to hear The Human Kind Podcast.  

From your computer? Easy peasy!

  1. Click here to listen on iTunes. Subscribe and press play!
