But it didn&#8217;t start out that way.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It started life as a documentary anthology that host and producer John Biewen calls a &#8220;hodge podge.&#8221; Then, for the second season John decided to take on race in America by exploring the history and meaning of whiteness. That season, &#8220;Seeing White,&#8221; forged a new path for the podcast, proving that there was an audience willing to take a deep dive into challenging topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John joins the show this week to talk about &#8220;Scene on Radio,&#8221; and help us understand why and how a white male radio journalist, such as himself, can and should spearhead critical examinations of whiteness and men \u2013 the topic of season three \u2013 and a revisionist history of democracy in America, as in the current season, &#8220;The Land That Never Has Been.&#8221; Though he takes on much of the production work himself, for analysis and guidance he turns to co-hosts like Celeste Headlee (&#8220;Men&#8221;) and Rutgers professor Chenjerai Kumanyika, alongside the many historians and experts who provide facts and perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the podcast is unflinching in challenging accepted and closely-held narratives and beliefs, John notes that he&#8217;s received relatively little backlash, and tells us why he thinks that is. He also gives us a peek behind the scenes at how he produces a multi-part documentary podcast, and how he and Chenjerai navigate their signature introductions and wrap-ups that help listeners digest each episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sceneonradio.org\/\">Scene on Radio<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/documentarystudies.duke.edu\/\">The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University<\/a><\/li><li>Transom: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/transom.org\/2015\/chenjerai-kumanyika\/\">Vocal Color in Public Radio<\/a>&#8221; by Chenjerai Kumanyika<\/li><li>Rutgers University: <a href=\"https:\/\/comminfo.rutgers.edu\/kumanyika-chenjerai\">Chenjerai Kumanyika<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/celesteheadlee.com\/\">Celeste Headlee<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the course of four seasons, the Peabody-nominated podcast &#8220;Scene on Radio,&#8221; a production of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, has earned a reputation for tackling head-on difficult topics around race, gender, justice and equity.
