FOOTNOTES by Caseen Gaines, read by Caseen Gaines - a podcast by AudioFile Magazine

One hundred years ago, the first all-Black musical, SHUFFLE ALONG, helped change the face of Broadway. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Sandi Henschel discuss author and narrator Caseen Gaines’s fascinating and well-researched history of the struggles of Black actors. Noble Sissle, Eubie Blake, Flournoy Miller, and Aubrey Lyels combined their talents to write SHUFFLE ALONG, a political satire that challenged the racist norms and had Black actors portraying non-stereotypical characters. Gaines’s narration brings both the period and the people to life. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Blackstone Audio.
