Recommended Creators, Artists, Authors & Activists From EVERY Call & Response Season 1 Guest

Looking for diverse and trailblazing creators to follow? Our guests from “Call & Response” have recommendations!


Throughout the first season of Call & Response, our guests discussed the shows, podcasts, and projects they were working on AND talked about the content they currently consuming and excited about. The staff at FOD has compiled these excellent recommendations below.

In the wake of heightened awareness of racial inequality, Funny Or Die partnered with Blavity Inc. and created Call & Response: a show hosted by Baron Vaughn and Open Mike Eagle dedicated to interviewing Black creators — activists, comedians, musicians, actors, visual artists, and more — about current events, discuss the present momentum, and speak about their work and struggles.
