For our final episode both of February and of Season 2, we have a special treat! We're celebrating Black History Month with an episode devoted to the talents of artists and composers of African American descent. Unfortunately, these creators often don't enter conversations about the art and music that we love to talk about in this podcast, so we hope this episode can help to give them the spotlight they deserve!
