A brand new podcast presented by columnist, writer and presenter Jackie Adedeji which celebrates black talent on-screen and behind-the-scenes in TV.
The series which is named after the iconic James Brown song “Say it Loud, I’m Black & I’m Proud’’ is a trauma no-go zone with the narrative for Black creatives and television talent shaped by racial trauma, or trauma being the headline or the soundbite, and Say it Loud spins it on its head. It is about all things unapologetically positively Black and British: the culture we shape, that we represent, that we create in this country.

When Andrew and Michael Boateng agreed to be interviewed for Say it Loud, I was ecstatic and not because they’re very easy on the eye ( I know that’s what you were thinking) but because the depth, experience and wisdom they come with, is unmatched. Born in North London with a greater Manchester twang -- The brotherly love energy and their insight into the power TV holds when we look at race and class. Is there such a thing as black middle class in the UK? Yes there is - but where is it on screen?
Are we happy more black shows are being commissioned? Yes - but what is the infrastructure of the companies producing these shows? What does being on Love Island and the aftercare conversation look like when you’re a black man talking about mental health? Phwoar – make sure your tea is piping hot when you sit down for this one!
