    Excellent
    It took me too long to rate. This podcast is excellent and really fulfills my Michael Harriot fix. Always informative and hilarious. I laugh out loud on every episode. The topics are the typical ones we have with our friends but with a historian smart mf’er guiding the conversation.

    Freedom Fight
    This podcast is a must for all Black people. Factual, educational, easy to understand and at times, laugh out loud funny! I can’t believe myself at times laughing out loud at those quirky blackness jokes. Thank God for Harriot, the new freedom fighter!

    Truth Defined!
    This brother is the history professor I wish I had. He has a clever way of incorporating humor while fearlessly uncovering the painful truths of America’s history with racism. A must-listen for anyone seeking enlightenment and understanding.

    Smart and Funny
    What a thrill to get to hear Michael Harriott talk that talk. He is so smart, humorous, and unapologetic about who he is and from whom he comes.

    Must listen
    Top notch! History for all to know
  • kcheree
    Capitalism
    Wow! What a breakdown of how capitalism never truly existed in its true form in America. This is the history they are trying to erase- not black history! The history of the created thing called “whiteness” and its subsequent exploitation. Good work!
  • Majezty Rene'
    MUCH NEEDED !!! BRAVO 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
    I’ve read many, many articles by Mr. Harriot on The Grio. I also had the pleasure of hearing him on Larry Wilmore’s podcast. I was thrilled to see Michael had one! I’ll be tuning in regularly!! Keep teaching King 👑!!

    A demonstration in ignorance.
    As a white person, I try to educate myself on the history of blacks, so that when I speak for equality, I speak from a place of enlightenment. I understand the anger, but this goes beyond what is acceptable. This dullard seems to lack the concept of equality by elevating everyone. Every opportunity he gets he seems to want to be a little white people of today for the abuse in the past. We get nowhere from continually degrading each other and alienating those who want to hear what you have to say and learn from you.

    Where has Michael Harriot been all my life?
    For such short episodes, Michael Harriet never fails to educate and entertain me. I was so impressed with the episode on the Alabama Ferry Fight. He connected so many dots!!!

  • cwarren33
    Love this podcast
    Can you please make each episode longer and more in depth. Like the ep on Black Music, it would be great to give more examples of each and maybe a background of each. I only ask because I could listen to this everyday.
  • Ms.LFG

    Enjoying and appreciating the podcast. Keep up a great work. Five Stars

    Michael Harriot is funny, super smart, informative, thought provoking and entertaining all at once. I am so glad that this podcast exists.
  • moniloveEsp
    Common sense
    He’s the teacher I’ve always wanted. He doesn’t over intellectualize these topics. He makes it real, provide new ways of thinking and makes it make sense!
  • Stinamarie84
    Long overdue!
    I have followed Michael’s work online and read his tweets. This man is the truth! He’s just too good. We’ve been needed a podcast with his intellect. Thank goodness we now have it. Totally worth a listen.

    Micheal Harriot educates me
    It is a refreshing and beautiful thing to listen to Mr. Harriot. I love his tweets and because I want to know more, I came to the podcast and I am not disappointed at all. Mr. Harriot, thanks for researching and sharing this wisdom with us.
  • cathybevhills
    I strongly recommend this podcast to everyone
    This podcast is for everyone. If you want to learn of interesting anecdotes dispelling old racist tropes, listen to this. If you are curious about the truth in America, listen to this podcast. If you already know a lot about history, this podcast will illuminate the truth on a deeper level. If you have an open mind about society and human nature, you will learn so much from this podcast.
  • Mel Grags
    The best education
    Michael Harriot is a truth teller.
  • Dave 11862
    The grip
    I love this podcast. One of the few I listen to at regular speed. Mr Harriott is insightful, short and sweet. Not a wonky talking head. He packs a lot into a 15 minute segment. David in Darlington SC
  • richmelanin
    Amazingly insightful and informative
    Great podcast for people that need simple ways of breaking down history to the present. He makes one ponder a lot about history in a common sense way.
  • Queen camryn
    Great Topics, format could be better
    I really enjoy the podcast, “theGrio Daily” with Michael Harriot. He is always discussing an interesting topic that is meaningful and insightful. His discussions give a new way to think about things. He connects the dots to put things together. The podcast is very valuable. An improvement would be in the presentation of Mr. Harriot. Listening, his manner of speech do not flow together. The way he speaks his sentences, with odd pauses, it can be difficult to listen to. His low tone of voice, although very lovely, can compound the challenge in listening to Mr. Harriot’s worthy podcast. I follow him on twitter and think he has a brilliant mind, and can add humor to the situation. His new podcast is worth the time and effort of any small inconveniences. If he continues, the format and any challenge will improve. Love it!

    Finally!!
    Michael Harriot finally brings his amazing words to our ears!
  • KwayebNwe
    Absolutely Necessary for the Culture
    Michael’s knowledge drops are the straight no chaser history lessons/reminders missing from the discourse on black people, black community, etc. Thank you so very much and let’s keep this going!!!!!

    So Glad to Find This Podcast
    There was a Michael Harriot-shaped hole in my life after he left The Root — then a random retweet that I came across mentioned this new podcast. Really happy to have regular access to his insightful commentary again!
  • DM4309
    The Grio Daily
    Michael always breaks it down so everybody understands and teaches a great history lesson every time.

    Thank the lord
    I missed Mr Harriot when he was writing for the Root, but glad I can now listen and read his work on the Grio. (Though I do miss the Clapback Mailbag)
  • Tynda904

  • Ugh-Nickname
    Just discovered this podcast
    I was really excited to find this podcast. What I’ve heard so far has been excellent, educational, and engaging. What’s up with the intermittent sound that I think is the host breathing into the microphone though?

    Shut up and listen
    Call this another essential daily podcast. Michael Harriot riffs, educates, and has no f#%*s to give. A daily dose will rebalance your worldview and make you laugh-cry too.

    Continuation of the Most Informative Threads on Twitter
    I was first introduced to Michael Harriot via his threads regarding the history of racial issues in this country. This podcast picks up where those leave off. I’m thoroughly informed and entertained by both!! You need this podcast in your life!!
