Ep. 9 - They're Gonna Be Loved
In the ninth episode of On Being Biracial, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley explore “families of choice” for biracial people — the relationships, romantic and platonic, which they pursue and nurture over the course of their lives. They discuss topics including dating, parenting and friendship. In this episode, you will learn: About personal experiences that align with statistics suggesting multiracial people are more likely to have racially diverse friend groups. How mixed individuals frequently experience unwanted exotification or outright racism while dating. The importance of acknowledging race and racism in interracial relationships in order for mixed people to feel connected and whole. Why some biracial people view race as central to the choices of who to date, while for others it's less important; meanwhile, research suggests mixed people are more likely to find romantic partners who are mixed. How relationships built between multiracial people can allow for special growth, leading to feelings of connectivity and affirmation, while providing space for unlearning internalized biases. This season's interviewees are: Ashanti Martin, Azaria Keys, Bárbara Idalissee Abadía-Rexach, Carter O'Brien Ford, Cat Dyson, Chantelle Fitzgerald, Charlotte Gill, David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris, Drew Allmond, Evan Fong Jaroff, Hannah Wallace, Ian Burnley, Jewel Love, John Blake, Jourdin Davis, Kimberly Ortiz-Hartman, Lise Funderburg, Mat Johnson, Nora Elmarzouky, Rachael Go, Rachel Lauren, Samonte Cruz, Sandra Clark, Sarabella Rocha, Sarah Gaither, Sienna McWhirter, Tyla Taylor, Tyler Sloane, W Kamau Bell, Zein Hassanein, and Mark Hugo Lopez.

Ep. 8 - Identity Amputated
In the eighth episode of On Being Biracial, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley look at the families we're born into and brought into as biracial people, and why those relationships can sometimes be trickier to navigate. In this episode, you will learn: How some multiracial households are at greater risk for instability than their monoracial counterparts, while others can be havens for inclusion. Why hope can be found in the progress of race relations within multiracial families, even while it can feel elusive on a societal scale. How multiracial relationships and families test relationships with one's extended family members. How racist stereotypes about interracial families were used in recent history to justify policies and social conditions that kept Black people suppressed and segregated. Why intergenerational households can be prone to silence, distance, bigotry and hypocrisy. This season's interviewees are: Ashanti Martin, Azaria Keys, Bárbara Idalissee Abadía-Rexach, Carter O'Brien Ford, Cat Dyson, Chantelle Fitzgerald, Charlotte Gill, David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris, Drew Allmond, Evan Fong Jaroff, Hannah Wallace, Ian Burnley, Jewel Love, John Blake, Jourdin Davis, Kimberly Ortiz-Hartman, Lise Funderburg, Mat Johnson, Nora Elmarzouky, Rachael Go, Rachel Lauren, Samonte Cruz, Sandra Clark, Sarabella Rocha, Sarah Gaither, Sienna McWhirter, Tyla Taylor, Tyler Sloane, W Kamau Bell, Zein Hassanein, and Mark Hugo Lopez.
