The Afro-Existential Podcast

An interview series and audio play in one. Designed to enlighten, entertain, and expand how you see the world around you.

This season, we present DEAD WAIT: A JOURNEY IN AFRO-EXISTENTIALISM written and produced by Blaine Teamer. An urban black comedy, inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit, DEAD WAIT asks the existential question, "Can we ever escape the consequences of our acts of bad faith, and how far would you drive a dead body in L.A. traffic for a million dollars!?

After you’ve listened to the play, come back for the interviews. Hosts Blaine Teamer, and Indira G. Wilson talk with people who have overcome some of life's most difficult obstacles to make their dreams a reality.


Written, produced, and edited by Blaine Teamer
