Podcast Overview

Lost in the Woods is where books, music, politics, and culture meet. Hosted by Jerid P. Woods — also known as @ablackmanreading — the podcast is about wandering off the beaten path and finding deeper ways to make sense of the world. When we say “lost,” we don’t mean confused. We mean choosing to wander. To sit with books instead of just posting them. To let music, memory, and culture reshape how we understand ourselves and each other. Each episode is a conversation at the intersections of literature, hip hop, politics, and lived experience. A place for constructing understanding — personally and collectively. Out here in the woods, we might just find ourselves. And we might just find each other, too.
