Are you curious about podcasts? At Podcast Wine Down, you’ll listen to a series of audio clips from KQED’s Truth Be Told and join a discussion with Host Tonya Mosley, and facilitators Se’era Ricks and Palace Shaw. Truth Be Told turns "advice" on its head with thoughtful discussion providing a space towards healing. An audience member asks a question or quandary and then, host Tonya Mosley, explores solutions with the help of a “Wise One.”
It’s a Book Club for your ears! You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for audio storytelling and some practical approaches for creating your own podcast or audio project.
The gathering is free - grab your favorite beverage and snack and join us online. RSVP below - all are welcome! We will send you instructions on how to join us beforehand.
