🎙️ Episode 0 – Let Me Yell FirstBy Olga ForeignBefore the applause, the protest, or the poetry—let me yell first.Not to speak over you, but to remind you that you still have a voice too.This isn’t a performance. This is a reclamation.In Episode 0 of Who Yelling Now?, I crack open the door, lift the curtain, and ask the questions that stay caught in your throat at night.What happens when you’ve been stolen from so long, you start forgetting what was yours to begin with?Who do you become when your story is told by everyone but you?And what if yelling isn’t rage... but release?🧠 This episode introduces:Why this podcast had to exist — and why nowHow I grew into my voice through poetry, grief, memory, and fireThe difference between being loud and being heardWhy silence isn’t neutral — it’s taughtWhat happens when history whispers and we finally scream backThis isn’t your average podcast.There’s no background music to soften the blows.There are no apologies for being too real, too angry, too sad, too Black, too queer, too invisible, too unforgettable.This is spoken word fused with spirit.This is memoir met with megaphone.This is what happens when art stops asking permission.💥 Who Yelling Now? is born from my books:And Then Thoughts — a love letter to loss, survival, and selfhoodStolen — an ancestral scream in verseA Lonely Walk — grief turned to gospelConversations with Grandpa — truth passed down, not buriedEach week, I’ll bring stories, poems, and perspective wrapped in rhythm and soul — centered around identity, memory, and the things they tried to erase from us.This isn’t safe content.This is sacred.It might crack your shell. It might hold your hand.It might remind you of what you forgot you knew.👂🏾 This episode is for you if:You’ve ever felt like your pain didn’t have a stageYou carry stories your body hasn’t even told you yetYou’re tired of podcasts made to pacifyYou want to yell, cry, laugh, and rememberYou may not agree with every word. That’s okay.But you’ll feel them.That’s the point.🚫 This is not for you if:You’re still stuck on the myth of neutralityYou’re sipping from the state’s cup and calling it holyYou’re over-medicated on fear and underfed on truthYou think history should be politeYou need permission to questionYou’re more loyal to your comfort than your conscienceYou’ve never once asked: “What was stolen from me?”If you’ve never yelled, you might not get it.If you’re still nursing at the systems that silenced us—this may taste bitter.But for the rest of us?We yell now.And it’s beautiful.🔥 “Let Me Yell First” is the spark.The real heat begins in the next episodes.So if you’re ready to stop pretending you don’t see what’s real—If you’re done shrinking for comfort—If you want to make memory louder than mythology—🎤 You’re in the right place.Subscribe. Share. Yell back.New episodes weekly.More truth than most can handle.But you? You’ve already survived worse.—🎧 Listen now.🌐 olgaforeign.com📲 @andthenthoughts, @didunotcme#WhoYellingNow #SpokenWordPodcast #PoetryAndProtest #OlgaForeign
