Dreaming in the Dark

the Black fantasy podcast of your dreams, with Bezi & Ravynn

Dreaming in the Dark is a podcast created by Black fantasy scholars, Bezi Yohannes and Ravynn K. Stringfield, that brings the stories we wished we had as children to the forefront.

Named after Toni Morrison’s Playing in the Dark, our podcast celebrates the creations that center those usually written in the margins of the fantastic.
