New listeners and longtime subscribers, we would like to (re)introduce you to Radical Imagination. Hosted by Angela Glover Blackwell, PolicyLink Founder in Residence, this groundbreaking podcast launches its third season today!

As we navigate the intersection of compounding crises, many of us are asking ourselves, “What is required of us in this moment?” The answer is radical imagination — a tool, practice, and way of being that pushes us toward the insights and strategies that remind us that a new world is not only possible, it’s happening all around us. Radical imagination means that even when we don’t have all the answers, we believe wholeheartedly that the future is extraordinary and we will manifest that irresistible vision.

We can start by learning from those among us who are already radically reimagining our nation in order to rewrite our future — those piloting the bold, expansive solutions that address our nation’s design flaws and move us closer to an equitable future. For over a year, Angela has been in conversation with these visionaries on the Radical Imagination podcast, on topics that break boundaries, from police abolition to reimagining gender. 

Season 3 kicks off with Reframing History: The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, an exploration into the story of the destruction and erasure of a thriving Black community, and historian Dr. Hannibal B. Johnson’s critical work to edit the record and embed the true story of Tulsa in Oklahoma’s K-12 curricula. This season will also explore topics like solidarity economics, the politics of healing and happiness, and more, providing us with the tools we need to redesign our nation with equity at the center.

This season, we don’t just want to tell you about radical imagination, we want to practice it with you. In partnership with Unfinished, each episode will invite listeners to reflect and respond to a key question surfaced in the conversation. After listening to the newest episode, join us in probing the question: How can reframing history impact the future?
