Down Home is a long-running podcast built around “the Canadian experience from two Black men.” Hosted by Jay and D, the series combines historical discussion, commentary and interviews to explore Black life in Canada and beyond.
Its catalogue includes episodes on African Nova Scotian history and communities, Africadia, Viola Desmond, George Dixon, Black Loyalist and Maroon history, land-title issues in Preston, slavery in Canada, Black railway porters, Black Canadian music and culture, systemic racism, education, justice and representation. Guests have included artists, writers, educators, advocates and community figures, alongside episodes focused on major Black historical figures and events outside Canada.
With more than 100 episodes available across YouTube and podcast platforms, Down Home functions as both a discussion series and a substantial independent archive of Black Canadian history, perspectives and community conversations.
