A Chat About Pit Bulls

The Black Pod Class is the podcast arm of the Black Podcasts class, taught at the University of Maryland by Dr. Briana Barner. Each episode will bring lively interviews with an array of guests discussing their experiences as Black podcasters, producers, listeners and fans. Hosted by the students of the Black Pod Class, this podcast expands the classroom outside of the walls of UMD and allows listeners insight into what we are learning, discussing and dreaming about in the Black Podcasts class. We hope you enjoy!
