Culturati

Step into a vibrant and unapologetically specific corner of audio with Culturati, hosted by veteran editor and cultural critic Kierna Mayo. This isn't a broad survey, but a focused dive into the worlds, ideas, and conversations shaped by Black women across generations. Here, their perspectives aren't just included-they are the central lens through which every topic is examined. Produced by Breakbeat Media, the podcast builds a colorful sonic world where nuance reigns, and the full spectrum of experience, from the bougie to the ratchet, is acknowledged and respected. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair to a compelling and necessary discussion you won't hear elsewhere. Kierna guides provocative dialogues with an intriguing array of guests, from celebrated artists and activists to cutting-edge thought-leaders. Together, they tackle cultural hot topics that range from the deeply socio-political to the delightfully not-safe-for-work, always with intelligence, wit, and a refusal to simplify. Tuning in means hearing analysis that challenges mainstream narratives, celebrates cultural innovation, and connects dots across music, society, and everyday life. If you're looking for a podcast that treats culture with the serious, joyful, and complex examination it deserves, Culturati offers a consistently refreshing and essential listen.
