IN the Beginning: The Spoken Word Podcast is a living archive of rhythm, resistance, and renaissance. More than a podcast, it is a movement—one that captures the voices of Black poets and wordsmiths shaping the present while preserving the legacy of those who came before. Here, the spoken word is not just art but testimony, history, and prophecy. Each episode immerses listeners in evocative performances and deep conversations with poets who embody the call of Nina Simone—to reflect the times. These artists reclaim narratives, amplify truths, and transform language into a force of liberation.

ITBP Bonus f. E. 5: GA ME | Stevie Wonder IS in the Audience

Episode Five of IN the Beginning: The Spoken Word Podcast, GA ME shares a wild, behind-the-scenes story of how the Def Poetry cast was catfished throughout the tour. But on this particular night, the stakes were higher—because in the audience sat none other than the legendary Stevie Wonder.

Listen as GA ME recounts how she performed the poem N.I.G.G.O.D.S. with a different reverence, knowing the moment's weight. What does it mean to speak your truth when a musical icon bears witness? How does presence shift performance? This episode is a masterclass in artistry, resilience, and the unexpected turns of a poet's journey.

Available now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Tune in. Bear witness. Be moved. @itbspokenwordpod | #GeorgiaME #SpokenWordPodcast #KeepersOfTheCulture @iamtashajones
