While hip hop has a history of anti-establishment and progressive
politics, hip hop media is taking an increasingly conservative
turn. Host Brittany Luse is joined by Rolling Stone staff writer
Andre Gee to discuss one of the most influential current stars of
hip hop media — DJ Akademiks — and what his conservative
provocations and visibility say about changes in the rap landscape.
Later, Brittany chats with actor, producer, and cabaret singer
Bridget Everett about season two of her show, Somebody Somewhere on
HBO. They talk about the show's distinctive coming-of-middle-age
narrative and what it means to build community in small town
America.
