Join Dr. Titi Shodiya and Dr. Zakiya Whatley,

best friends and and co-hosts of Spotify's Dope Labs,

for a special live taping as they put all things winter

and the events of The Great Northern under their microscope.

Check out their recent episodes and get ready for a fun evening!


Dope Labs is a podcast hosted by best friends (and two of the dopest scientists you will ever meet), Titi and Zakiya. In each episode, they serve up scientific principles with a healthy dose of tea — unpacking pop culture through the black lens. From cuffing season to Cardi B, they’ll take what’s trending and put it under the microscope with the help of some very smart (and cool) scientific friends. At Dope Labs, they believe “science is for errybody” and their mission is to bring out the inner scientist in YOU.

Dope Labs is a product of Spotify’s Sound Up podcast accelerator program, aimed at educating and supporting women of color in the podcasting space, and offering tools and resources to turn participants’ creative ideas into fully-developed podcasts. Through programs like Sound Up, Spotify provides curated listening experiences to connect users with culture in a visceral and personal way, while inspiring a new wave of cultural and socially-minded podcasts.
