Viewers Like Us

Documentary-slash-investigative series Viewers Like Us explores who gets to tell America’s stories in public media today. Across six episodes, host and Peabody-winning filmmaker Grace Lee alongside reporter and filmmaker Akintunde Ahmad document a history of systemic inequities at PBS, the Public Broadcasting System, and envision what the future could look and sound like if PBS prioritized a multitude of experiences and perspectives.

The podcast stems from provocations raised by series host Grace Lee, who called out PBS’s overreliance on documentarian Ken Burns in a fall 2020 essay for the Ford Foundation, and raised the necessity of more than one lens in public media.
