When it comes to podcasts, there is a wide selection for almost everything imaginable, but if its not pop culture based or a murder mystery series, those podcasts do not get the shine they deserve. We understand it’s easier to listen to pop culture and drama podcasts, but they can also be good when it comes to learning history.

For Black History Month, we want to shine light on podcasts that teach us more of our history beyond just pages printed in textbooks. Here are a few of the top podcasts we recommend you check out for Black History Month and add to your podcast list going forward.
