À propos de cet audio

'Homegoings' is a show that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race. Host and musician Myra Flynn explores themes that fearlessly straddle that line between necessary and uncomfortable, as she speaks with artists, experts and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life. 'Homegoings' is storytelling — with a heartbeat. No topic is off the table, and there’s no such thing as going “too deep.” These are the conversations that are our birthright to have, and the stories we are lucky to hear.Vermont Public Art Divertissement et arts de la scène

  • The Vermont Public CEO on funding cuts and the future
    Sep 18 2025

    In August of last year, Vermont Public, our organization, got a new CEO, Vijay Singh. He came to VP by way of two public radio stations in California and while this is Vijay's first time being a CEO, he has had a hand in leadership, and ushering companies through times of deep change. A skill that’s currently being tested as over a month ago, Congress voted to rescind more than $1 billion in federal funding for PBS and NPR. In this episode, Vijay sat down with Homegoings host Myra Flynn just two days after Vermont Public eliminated 15 positions and changed two full-time positions to part-time. This is their conversation.

  • The sexologist who’s talking about sex and racism (baby)
    Sep 4 2025

    Back in February, Homegoings hosted a live event at Vermont Public studios that featured a conversation with sexologist Tyomi Morgan in front of a live audience. In this episode, we share highlights from that night and dig right into that tricky space where attraction meets fetishization, racial curiosity turns into racism, and how to overcome societal tropes, barriers and nasty stereotypes associated with race that can sometimes keep us from loving one another — better.

  • From headliner to heartbreak: The theatre director who’s starting over
    Aug 14 2025

    In 2015, theatre director Jarvis Antonio Green founded JAG Productions, a theatre company that served as an artistic sanctuary for Black creatives in American theatre. Last year after losing venues and revenue, JAG took a final bow and closed its curtains for good. Soon after, Jarvis suffered other losses and heartbreak in his personal life that led to him uprooting his home, his craft and in a lot of ways — his identity. What happens when you’re just one life shift away from things breaking? And what does it look like to piece it all together again? In this episode we talk to Jarvis about a different kind of art he’s putting his energy into these days: The art of starting over.

    This episode was hosted and reported by Myra Flynn with help from our associate producer James Stewart. Our producer/director is Mike Dunn and Aaron Edwards is our story editor. Myra composed the theme music with other music by Blue Dot Sessions. Elodie Reed is the graphic artist behind this episode’s Homegoings artist portrait.
