Same Difference Podcast
Presented By
We envision a world where open dialogue leads to meaningful connections, challenging preconceptions, and fostering a deeper appreciation for our shared humanity.
What happens when a white guy from the city accidentally contacts a black guy from the country?
It’s not what you think. In an unexpected connection, conversations spark and the “Same Difference” podcast is created. Hosts J.D and Kory discuss life as they each see it through the prism of race.
Experience the magic of "Same Difference" as we celebrate diversity, debunk stereotypes, and showcase the beauty of our differences. Let's rewrite the narrative, highlighting that beneath it all, we're bound by the same human spirit.
