Filmmaker Prentice Penny joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his Hulu docuseries Black Twitter: A People’s History, which charts the posts, accounts, and memes that made Black Twitter such an influential force in just about every aspect of American political and cultural life. Listen to the new episode above, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Penny — the writer, director, and producer behind Insecure and Uncorked — talks about why he felt the need to tell the story of Black Twitter and the social movements it created. He dives into the handles, hashtags, and memes that fueled the culture, as well as how the sale of the social media platform to Elon Musk factored into the production of the docuseries. From there, he touches on how Black people will still find community in a post-Twitter environment, and how it all might effect the upcoming election.
