Panoply Discontinues 'Our National Conversation About Conversations About Race' Podcast After 2 years

Ending

PANOPLY has announced that it is discontinuing the podcast "OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION ABOUT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE" due to scheduling problems.  The show, hosted by BARATUNDE THURSTON, RAQUEL CEPEDA, ANNA HOLMES, and TANNER COLBY, debuted in FEBRUARY 2015 and posted as recently as FRIDAY (1/20).

In a statement about the cancellation, PANOPLY said that it has "made the difficult decision to not move forward with the podcast.... 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. However, frequent scheduling issues made it difficult to produce the show that we all wanted to create. Though the cancellation was unrelated to the current political climate, we regret the timing. Ending it now is painful, but a growing company like ours must make hard decisions, and this was one of the hardest. Now more than ever, PANOPLY recognizes the urgent need for diverse voices and frank conversations, and we’re committed to covering the important topics of race and ethnicity in AMERICA. Please stay tuned!"
