Hosted by 2021 KCRW Radio Race winner Jude Brewer, Storybound presents the voices of today’s best writers, like Mitchell S. Jackson, Tamara Winfrey-Harris, and Chuck Klosterman, reading accomplished works of fiction and non-fiction. You’ll also hear original music specially composed for the respective text.

The episode we’re sharing today features Clint Smith reading from How the Word Is Passed, which explores the legacy of slavery down the centuries across the entire United States.
