About This Podcast

Happy Forgetting is an anthology about the racial justice histories we remember, the ones we forget, what we deny and what we bury. And why those stories must be retold. Hosted by journalist Ruxandra Guidi, Happy Forgetting's personal and opinionated audio essays and documentaries remind us that progress isn't linear. With stories from Yohance Lacour (You Didn't See Nothin) and John Biewen (Scene on Radio) and others, and funding from the Open Society Foundations.
