This week, we eventually get around to talking about William Grant Still – the legendary composer who blended African musical heritage with Western classical traditions to create something truly groundbreaking. But not before we take some serious detours.

Expect:
🎻 A deep dive into Still’s fusion of spirituals, jazz, and orchestral music
📚 Ben’s History Club (aka revision videos on YouTube)
⏳ Ellie’s ongoing war with chronological order
🗣️ An unexpected ASMR moment (?!?)
💧 A theory that there must be something in the water in Little Rock, Arkansas
🎭 And a bold claim about the future of Welsh musicals

The word of the week (more than ever) is "anyway", because honestly, we need it.
