Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man
by Emmanuel Acho
Emmanuel Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many White Americans are afraid to ask, yet which all Americans need the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and 'reverse racism.' In his own words, he provides a space for compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the listener's curiosity, but along the way, he will galvanize everyone to join the antiracist fight. Book Annotation

Stuff You Should Know : An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things
by Josh Clark
Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant started the podcast back in 2008 because they were curious, curious about the world around them, curious about what they might have missed in their formal educations, and curious to dig deeper on stuff they thought they understood. As it turns out, they aren't the only curious ones. They've since amassed a rabid fan base, making it one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Armed with their inquisitive natures and a passion for sharing, they research and discuss a wide variety of topics, always working to uncover the weird, fascinating, delightful, or unexpected pieces of any given subject, and then talking about it together in an accessible and humorous way. The pair have now taken their near-boundless "whys" and "hows" from the earbuds to an audiobook for the first time, and with it comes loads of new content, covering subjects about which they've long wondered or wanted to explore in greater detail.
