Tawny Newsome and Andrew Ti host the funny and insightful show "Yo, is this Racist?" WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING! I know, it sounds scary, but it's not! Tawny and Andrew answer listener-submitted voicemails about racisms big and small, and these days, business is brisk! Occasionally they're joined by special guests, who range from comedians like Nicole Byer and Roy Wood Jr, to politicians like Nithya Raman, and Ted Lieu. The show is meant to be cathartic for people of color, and "shit-you-should-know-but-we'll-tell-you-anyway" for white people. Subscribe now wherever you get pods! If you'd like to support them further, check out their independent subscription site: suboptimalpods.com where you'll find premium shows like 'Yo, Can We Live" which is the racism antidote show, along with other limited series, movie and anime watchalongs and more!

Yo, Is This Racist? (also stylized as Yo! Is This Racist?) is a blog and associated podcast run by Andrew Ti, addressing questions from readers and listeners about whether given phenomena are examples of racism. In 2018, Tawny Newsome joined the podcast as co-host.
Ti, a writer for Comedy Central at the time, launched the Yo, Is This Racist? blog in November 2011 on Tumblr as the result of a conversation with a coworker about whether Yosemite Sam's oath "cotton-picking" is racist. Within 24 hours, the blog had nearly 2000 followers. The podcast was started a year later and was hosted by Earwolf from its creation. In November 2020, Ti and Newsome chose to leave the Earwolf network and launched Sub-Optimal Pods to host the podcast independently, a move which they said freed them from "trying to be the wokest show on a comedy network." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo,_Is_This_Racist%3F
