ticketsRoxane Gay and Tressie McMillan Cottom are the bold, brilliant, and bad-ass hosts of Hear to Slay, a podcast with an intersectional perspective on celebrity, culture, politics, art, life, love, and more – basically the black feminist podcast of your dreams.
Together, Roxane and Tressie give their listeners a space where they can support, challenge, and grow with one another through critical conversation on everything from pop culture and art to politics and mental health.
“As I began to imagine my ideal show, there was only one woman I wanted to work with, Tressie McMillan Cottom, my co-host for Hear to Slay. Tressie is fiercely intelligent, hilarious, and genuine. She is as provocative as she is charming. Together we’ve developed a show that will cover the high brow, the low brow and everything in between.”
