Black History Matters, a highly relevant series of short pieces, was created in the belief that for many African Americans, the past is still present: a condition that has profound implications for all Americans, regardless of race. Segments shed new light on contemporary problems with origins in slave times such as racial profiling, stereotype threat and the American mythology of black inferiority. As Maxie Jackson, station manager at Cleveland's WCPN has said "I'm in love with the subject matter. Bringing these issues up from a historical perspective is on point and consistent with my personal beliefs." We think you will agree with the public radio program director who said: “Compelling and powerful. Unlike anything I’ve heard before.”

Each year thousands of unexplained events occur. We know these accounts to be true. Behind that truth lies the real stories — life-changing and sometimes frightening. My name is Christopher Reynaga. Come with me in search of the stories behind the magic, the mystery, and the unexplained. Called "The NPR of the Twilight Zone" by a reviewer and "A paranormal-reporting Garrison Keillor" by Tampa Bay Creative Loafing. Point Mystic is a semi-fictional monthly broadcast in the story-driven style of This American Life and Serial, interspersed with the narrative sense of The News from Lake Wobegone. It combines real interviews and personal stories with fictional elements to achieve a kind of audio magical realism.
