This week, we’re thrilled to welcome back Touré, cultural critic and friend of the pod, to tell us about a new project we think you’ll be excited about, too: a podcast analyzing 1980s hip hop with radical political messages. How does art reflect culture? How is culture warped by capitalism? We’ll dive into all of that and more with Touré.
Of course, we’ll also be covering the latest in this week’s news — its multiple presidential campaign announcements (yes, Mike Pence is throwing his hat in, too), the potential of a SAG-AFTRA strike, and more. Paying subscribers can join us Friday night for the video of our conversation. Everyone else, see you Saturday when the podcast is released on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, and more.
