About this listen

First & Foremost is a dynamic conversation based show hosted by Kenny and Day Day from The Father's Group. Expect at least two shows a month with the occasional special episode! What will we be discussing? What it's like to live, work, and (try to) relax in Central Oregon while being Black! With a population of ~1%, the vibe of this town can sometimes put you through it while other times give you deep hope! Join us as we discuss culture, food, the non-profit sector, day to day experiences along with some great interviews of Black Central Oregonians as well as Friends of the organization! This show will often times be raw at times but will also have a heavy level of humor mixed in each episode. Regardless, some of the content may contain some pills that are hard to swallow... But if we have to live in this reality, life doesn't sugar coat for anyone. And Neither will we!2024 Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary
