High, Good People
3 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratingsHigh, Good People is a potcast that explores the historical, social and cultural relationships between people of color and cannabis in the new age of legalization. The show is hosted and produced by Tiara Darnell, a freelance journalist and multimedia producer, Oregon's Budtender of the Year 2017, and a finalist for Spotify's inaugural Sound Up Bootcamp for emerging women of color podcasters.
HGP blends interview and narrative style to give voice to the stories of the communities most disproportionately impacted by the legacy of the War on Drugs. Each episode is edited to "activation time" length, about twenty to thirty minutes, or roughly how long it takes to feel "high" after consuming cannabis.
Lean back, listen up, and if you want to, light up.
