[The New York Times]( [The New York Times]( Sunday, May 28, 2017 [Join Race/Related »]( [] Travis Chambers/EyeEm, via Getty Images With summer beckoning and full of promise for extra listening time, we’re sharing a few of our favorite podcasts related to race and culture and asking for yours, too. Please send your brief recommendations to racerelated@nytimes.com. We’ll add yours to our list and share with other readers. In addition to our picks, you can find hundreds of more shows at the [PodcastsinColor.com]( directory. Happy listening. [Adeel Hassan]( [] Alamy What We’re Listening To The “[Mash-Up Americans]( call themselves guides to Hyphen-America, something they continue to grapple with themselves. Rebecca Lehrer, in her words, a “Salvadoran-Jewish-American married to a woke white dude” living in Los Angeles, is one of the hosts of the show. Her co-host, Amy S. Choi, who calls her children “Korambexican,” is a Korean-American married to a Colombian-Mexican-American living in Brooklyn. The two take turns chatting it up with other “mash-ups” (Soledad O’Brien and Hasan Minhaj have both been guests) about what it means to retain your culture these days when Korean tacos almost seem passé. The show has a decidedly upbeat feel, but it has also tried to absorb what kind of America exists in the Trump era. It goes far beyond politics and to the core of what it means to straddle different worlds. Jennifer Medina, Los Angeles correspondent -- “[Latino USA]( is where you can go from meeting Mexican-American cowboys to delving into the death of an undocumented immigrant at a privately run detention center and debating the complicated relationship between Hollywood, Latin America and Latino filmmakers. Fernanda Santos, Phoenix bureau chief -- WNYC’s “[2 Dope Queens]( doesn’t have race as a sole focus but discusses it candidly. Two accomplished comedians (Jessica Williams was previously a correspondent on “The Daily Show” and Phoebe Robinson writes for “Broad City”) take you along for their ride that is recorded before a live audience in Brooklyn. Their claim that they are the[ “Hamilton” of Brooklyn]( is only half in jest since tickets to see their show are consistently sold out. Ms. Robinson has an additional podcast, also produced by WNYC, called “[Sooo Many White Guys]( that feature guests who do not fit that description because people in that group already have many shows, just not always with clever titles. Lauren Hard, National Desk news assistant -- “[Black Girl Nerd]( takes a deep dive on many topics like history, gaming, comics and cosplay, sci-fi film and television, as well as navigating workplace and health issues from a blerd (black nerd) perspective. Here's a favorite episode: [Nerdy History, Superheroines and WOC In Comics]( “[The China Africa Project]( offers journalists’ analysis of the evolving business relationship between China and Africa and the cultural, political effect on both regions. Some favorite episodes: [Outrage over the #RacistChineseAd: what did we learn?]( [China's controversial hair exports to Africa]( [300+ years of Chinese history in South Africa]( Nicole Fineman, Video Desk staff editor -- I’m tired of seeing people of color only lauded or recognized when it comes to “ethnic eats” or dishes slung from street carts. I guess the journalists behind the “[Racist Sandwich]( podcast were tired, too. Because they totally get it. They get that people of color can care about the Michelin guide and James Beard nominees just as much as they care about how their parents taught them to love the difficult-to-appreciate durian. And they’re doing it out of Portland, a very dynamic food city but a very white city, which makes their work all the more symbolic. Food is the great equalizer because it’s a universal human experience but it’s demeaning when those who finally learn about a dish or ingredient feel the need to “Columbus” it because it’s new to them. Instead, “Racist Sandwich” focuses on talking to minorities about their stories and what makes their food special and how they introduce it to the world. No otherization needed here. Fahima Haque, social strategy editor -- Broadly speaking, most sports podcasts stink. And that's because most prolonged conversations about sports in any setting grow tedious and boring somewhere around the four-minute mark. But some sports podcasts use sports as a lens through which to view more interesting and important things: politics, for instance, or pop culture, or race and gender. “[The Morning Roast]( is one of those podcasts. My friend Mina Kimes is one of the greatest sportswriters working right now. Clinton Yates cut his teeth at The Washington Post and on radio. Domonique Foxworth is a former N.F.L. player and N.F.L. Players Association president. They're funny, and seem to genuinely like each other. All three are minorities from different parts of the country who have taken very different paths to ESPN, and their separate experiences inform whatever topic they’re broaching, whether it’s LaVar Ball's attempts to turn his sons into a billion-dollar brand, or the best ice-cream flavors, or Cam Newton's Coachella fashion. It’s not chiefly a podcast about race, but race of course shapes everything they touch on. Greg Howard, Metro Desk reporter -- I like to get in on the ground floor of something special, and who doesn’t? Only three episodes old, “[Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air]( has had the producer Norman Lear talking about how “All in the Family” (1971-79) -- whose main character, the bigoted Archie Bunker, shook up television; and the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson discussing the concept of “sounding black.” Mr. Wilmore is a polymath who steers conversations in surprising directions. Then there’s “[The Bell]( New York City’s children are educated in one of the country’s most racially segregated public school systems. If you’re scratching your head over that, this teacher-hosted show will help you find some answers.

Gerald Herbert/Associated Press [New Orleans Mayor’s Message on Race]( By PETER APPLEBOME In a speech after Confederate monuments were taken down, Mayor Mitch Landrieu made it clear how much racial attitudes needed to change. [As Monuments Go Down, Family Histories Emerge]( By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON AND KATY RECKDAHL The removal of Confederate monuments in New Orleans has made the personal histories of whites and blacks all the more immediate. Here are five such stories.
