HBCU Radio Preservation Project set to launch first season of podcast​

WYSO

Season one of the podcast "Broadcasting History: The HBCU Radio Legacy" will drop its first episode on May 12.
The three-season podcast is tied to the HBCU Radio Preservation Project (HBCU RPP), a four-year initiative dedicated to documenting and preserving the history and legacy of radio stations at the country’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The six-episode first season takes a deep dive into various aspects of HBCU radio, from its founding to its present day impact. It will showcase rare archival audio produced by the stations, much of it available to the public for the first time and will feature different perspectives through conversations with station managers, on-air personalities and DJs, community activists, media scholars and HBCU RPP team members.
The series is co-produced by the HBCU RPP and Could Be Pretty Cool, an Atlanta-based production company.
It is hosted by Fran Robinson and Miles Johnson
