YouTube Originals Debuts Season Two of “Glad You Asked” Exploring Racial Justice and the Impact of Systemic Racism

YouTube Originals launched season two of “Glad You Asked,” the Emmy-nominated series from Vox and Vox Media Studios that explores topics driven by our curiosity about the world around us.

Using Vox’s signature explainer format, the second season examines questions around racial justice and the impact of systemic racism in our communities and daily lives. This season explores topics ranging from implicit bias to how our neighborhoods determine our futures, race and A.I., inequity in our education systems, the impact of racism on our bodies, and meritocracy.

Episode one – which raises the question, “How racist am I?” – is now available to stream for free on the Vox YouTube channel, with new episodes dropping daily as part of a week-long channel takeover. Additional topical episodes will launch later this year.

Joining season two is Vox’s lead race reporter, Fabiola Cineas, and the host and producer of the VICE documentary series Minority Reports, Lee Adams. They unite with season one hosts Cleo Abram, Joss Fong, and Christophe Haubursin to explore these critical questions while demonstrating various social experiments across the season.

Recent events and an increasing amount of research has shown just how much racial bias impacts our world. Before we can really start to dismantle systemic racism, we have to first understand our own biases. “Glad You Asked” host Cleo Abram explores if we can measure those biases, how we shine a light on them, and what to do about them.

“Glad You Asked” is executive produced by Joie Jacoby, Joe Posner, Chad Mumm, Mark W. Olsen for Vox Media Studios. Dana J. Olkkonen and Mona Lalwani are co-executive producers for Vox Media Studios. The series is produced by Vox Media Studios and YouTube. Susanne Daniels is Global Head of Original Content for YouTube. Nadine Zylstra, Head of Family, Learning and Impact for YouTube Originals, and Laurel Stier and Zoe Di Stefano, Development Executives for YouTube Originals, oversee the project for the global platform.
