from Sportly · host Immigrantly Media
What happens when a Black icon refuses to make white audiences comfortable? Today, we’re sharing a preview of a new podcast, Big Lives, and a special episode about Muhammad Ali. Every week, hosts Kai Wright and Emmanuel Dzotsi dig into the BBC archive to explore the story behind the icons who shape our culture—trailblazers like David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, and Tina Turner—and better understand how each legend set the stage for our contemporary cultural landscape. This episode traces Muhammad Ali’s BBC interviews—full of swagger and wit, fury and fallout—to reveal how he reshaped media, protest and public speech.
