The Stoop podcast explores stories from the Black diaspora that we don’t always share out in the open. Hosts Leila Day and Hana Baba start conversations about what it means to be Black, and how we talk about blackness in America, and globally. It’s a celebration of Black joy in all its diversity.
Hana Baba is co-creator and co-host of The Stoop, and longtime host of Crosscurrents, the award-winning newsmagazine at NPR station KALW Public Radio in San Francisco. Her work also appears on public radio programs on NPR, PRI’s The World, and BBC. A Sudanese American, Hana enjoys exploring cultural intersections, and immigrant and diaspora life.
Leila Day is co-creator and co-host of The Stoop, and freelance Executive Producer and Senior Editor. Leila worked as an EP and editor at Pineapple Street Studios and as senior reporter and editor at KALW public radio, where she and Hana met. She's edited podcasts for Marvel, CBS Universal, NPR and others.
Leila is a podcast educator and award winning journalist with a passion for finding unique ways to combine journalism and storytelling.
