The Vodou Project
Episode description
For centuries, Vodou has been defined by others. Reduced to images of zombies, dolls, and devil worship. But the truth is far deeper, and even more powerful.
The Vodou Project is an 8-part documentary podcast hosted by Haitian-American producer Baudelaire. It traces Vodou’s roots from Benin, through the Haitian Revolution and U.S. occupation, to its place in the modern diaspora. Along the way, Baudelaire travels to ceremonies in Benin, speaks with priests in Haiti, and meets artists, scholars, and everyday people whose lives are shaped by Vodou.
This is not the Vodou of Hollywood horror. With immersive sound design, archival storytelling, and intimate conversations, The Vodou Project invites listeners to confront the myths they’ve heard and discover what Vodou really is, and what it isn’t.
