NextUs818 Podcast is a reflective platform for connecting past successes with future progress in the African-American community. The Inaugural season of NextUs818 focuses on the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-female African-American battalion to serve in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.
AUGUST 18TH MARKS THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF NextUs818 PODCAST. WE ARE TAKING A SHORT ANNIVERSARY BREAK TO WORK ON EXCITING EPISODES FOR SEASON 2. IN ADDITION TO MORE EPISODES ON THE 6888TH, WE PLAN TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ANOTHER GROUP OF WW2 AFRICAN-AMERICAN HEROES: THE MONTFORD POINT MARINES.
WHILE WE ARE PREPPING NEW EPISODES FOR SEASON 2, THIS IS A GREAT TIME FOR YOU TO GET CAUGHT UP ON PREVIOUS EPISODES. IF YOU ARE TUNING IN TO THE PODCAST FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO START WITH THE INAUGURAL EPISODE FROM
SEPTEMBER 7, 2022, TO LEARN ABOUT THE BACKGROUND OF THE 6888th BATTALION. FROM THERE, TAKE SOME TIME TO LISTEN TO THE 6888th DESCENDANTS SHARE THEIR STORIES AND LEGACIES.
See you for our Season 2 kick-off on Wednesday, August 16th, at 7 p.m. ET
