Identified is a podcast hosted by author and music executive Nabil Ayers.

In Nabil Ayers' 2022 memoir, My Life in the Sunshine (Viking), he explored his distant relationship with his father, the jazz musician Roy Ayers, the discovery of meaningful familial connections, and his sometimes complicated mixed-race identity. Identified is the natural extension of this journey, in which Ayers will turn the spotlight on his guests to explore the concept of family, how we understand these relationships, and how these are totally personal and unique.

Each conversation will cover a wide array of topics including; navigating cultural and historical perspectives of family, exploring the positive outcome of a non-traditional childhood, dealing with loss and grief, and how these relationships have also contributed to personal journeys of self-discovery.
