Deron Harris Podcast
The Deron Harris Podcast is where raw honesty, sharp humor, and creative hustle meet. Hosted by Deron Harris, stand-up comic, music producer, and relentless content creator. Broadcasting from his RV, Deron's goes far beyond punchlines, delivers unfiltered takes on race, politics, pop culture, and the realities of being Black in America, with real laughs, and unfiltered moments.
Each episode is a wild ride: one week it’s a deep dive into the legacy of slavery and Deron’s own DNA revelations, the next it’s a no-holds-barred breakdown of the latest political controversy or a celebration of Black excellence in music and business. Expect controversial conversations, bold advocacy for people of color, and a willingness to tackle topics most shy away from, whether it’s the impact of Project 2025, the state of Black-owned businesses, or the blurred lines between truth and fiction in American culture.
But it’s not all heavy. Tune in for plenty of laughs with Deron’s family and friends. Whether he’s calling out hypocrisy, making beats, or just riffing on the weirdness of social media, Deron keeps it real, keeps it creative, and keeps it moving.
