1619 (the New York Times)

This podcast was created as part of NYT Magazine’s monumental 1619 Project, which examined how slavery has transformed America over the past 400 years. Hosted by recent Pulitzer Prize-winner Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 is a “stop everything you’re doing and listen” podcast: one that takes on a hugely important, thorny topic and masterfully uses audio to enhance the listener’s understanding of what’s being discussed.
