Prismatic: An Audio Series

Prismatic: An Audio Series

Prismatic does more than tell you stories. Hosted by Josh Gwynn (@regardingjosh), Will Johnson (@willnotgoquietly) and Tsige Tafesse (@astoldbytsige), the show goes further than the news, right past whatever pop culture gossip is flooding your various feeds, and straight into that gooey part under your rib cage where those warm, weighty feelings fumble and flutter around all day. This is urgent, in-your-face, need-to-know-right-now stuff about you and me. With storytelling kept at its center, each episode builds up an important archive of knowledges, spaces, people, words, feelings, art, stories, affirmations, laughs, mantras, prayers, and love for ourselves. Prismatic wants to open up eyes, minds, and hearts and capture all the ways we have learned to survive.
