BONUS EP: CC Paschal, Future Ancestor (and Fairy Podmother)

The Witch Wave fairy podmother and sonic sensei, CC Paschal, has been on a spiritual - and material - journey to save their family's ancestral home *by the end of this month!* Please share CC's GoFundMe widely and do contribute if you are able to!

CC Paschal (she/they) currently heads editorial content and development at the audio production house, Molten Heart. She also teaches audio documentary art, most recently at The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at Maine College of Art & Design. Their book, "Audiocraft, The Art and Business of Making Podcasts that Mean Something" is out later this year from Routledge.

Previously, CC was the series editor of NPR’s critically acclaimed narrative series Louder Than a Riot, about the interconnected rise of mass incarceration and hip-hop culture; as well as Malcolm Gladwell’s Broken Record, and the award-winning independent show about intimacy and power, The Heart. In 2017, CC was a lead producer on Gimlet Media's Peabody award-winning production Uncivil where she honed her genealogical research skills and first discovered her Melungeon / Free People of Color ancestry.

On this bonus episode of The Witch Wave, CC discusses their magical mission to save their family's home, the importance of Black land stewardship in America, and the spiritual synchronicities that helped them heed this ancestral call.
