Seeing White - A 14 part podcast series from Scene On Radio, released between Feb and Aug of 2017. From their website: "Just what is going on with white people?

Why? Where did the notion of “whiteness” come from? What does it mean? What is whiteness for?
Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen took a deep dive into these questions, along with an array of leading scholars and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika"
