What is Black Bottom Radio?

Black Bottom Radio, hosted by Aaron Amos and Noelle Childress, started as a look at contemporary Black Detroit. With lively discussions ranging from viral cultural moments to opinions about local politics, this radio show was BBA’s way of expanding our digital storytelling work. The last episode was recorded in 2016, and Black Bottom Radio has since stopped recording new episodes.
