When folks think about where to get the latest in hip-hop, NPR
doesn't usually come to mind. But that's changing, thanks to the
team at the Tiny Desk Concerts, which was just nominated as the
Best Hip-Hop Platform for the 2022 BET Awards. Since 2008, Tiny
Desk Concerts have delighted millions of listeners and viewers on
YouTube with stripped-down performances from their favorite
artists. Now the series is proving it's also an authentic space for
showcasing all forms of hip-hop. Guest host Elise Hu talks to Tiny
Desk Concerts series producer Bobby Carter about bringing new
musicians into the mix, what goes on behind the scenes and where
the team wants to take the show next.

Then, Elise plays a Tiny Desk edition of 'Who Said That' with
Carter and video producer Josh Bryant.

Finally, Elise chats with P.E. Moskowitz, author of the 'Mental
Hellth' newsletter, about how terms from therapy have crept into
our daily language. Does it help or harm how we think about mental
health?
