'Homegoings' is a show that invites listeners to be a fly on the wall, privy to candid and genuine conversations about race. Host and musician Myra Flynn explores themes that fearlessly straddle that line between necessary and uncomfortable, as she speaks with artists, experts and regular folks all over the country about their literal skin in the game — of everyday life. 'Homegoings' is storytelling — with a heartbeat. No topic is off the table, and there’s no such thing as going “too deep.” These are the conversations that are our birthright to have, and the stories we are lucky to hear.Vermont Public Arte Entretenimiento y Artes Escénicas

    The artist who’s trying to die: Joseph Awuah-Darko
    Jul 17 2025

    ***A heads up: This episode discusses sensitive topics like suicide and self-harm***

    Joseph Awuah-Darko is a 28-year-old Ghanaian artist who announced last year that he was moving to Amsterdam to pursue what in the Netherlands is called “termination of life on request,” or euthanasia, amid a long struggle with bipolar disorder. That announcement shook the Internet. Joseph’s followers have reacted with every emotion from shock to disgust; commiseration to fascination. All in all, it’s one of those stories you feel you should look away from… But you can’t stop watching.

    Mainly because — shouldn’t this be private? Shouldn’t we be having conversations about mental health and death…more? We went to Amsterdam to have one of those conversations, over a meal.
