Discover the Given Name Podcast

Given Name is a storytelling podcast where each episode begins with one central invitation:

“Tell me about your name?”

Want to Share Your Story?

Your name carries a history. We want to hear it. Given Name is looking for everyday people — all backgrounds welcome, with a special invitation to Black voices — who are ready to sit down and talk about the name they were given and everything it holds. If you're 18 or older and have a story to tell, start here.
