A heads up: This episode contains strong language and unbleeped swearing***

"Stereo-anti-types” is a special series from Homegoings examining some of the most troubling, most profound, and most dangerous stereotypes that apply to Black men. In this first episode, host Myra Flynn and colleague Bryant Denton get up close and personal with podcaster Pendarvis Harshaw and comedian Marlon Fisher to tackle the myth of the deadbeat dad. Both of these men have bucked societal bias and are anything but deadbeat --- but as you'll hear, it wasn't always easy. Homegoings is a Podcast, TV show, and event series where host and musician Myra Flynn brings you candid conversations about race with artists, experts, and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life.
