Of course on such an important topic, I would forget to turn off the metronome function in GarageBand while editing the file. I’ve corrected it and so now there is no more annoying rhythmic tapping/clicking. Apologies.
This episode is for all of our white neurodivergent listeners. We should have opened the podcast with that, but I’ll say it here. Aimée and I have an awkward, imperfect, incomplete, but important conversation around race and racism. With that here are a lot of links for you to read and sit with, uncomfortably. Find a group of your (white) friends and start having these conversations as well.
