In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham joined by historian of hip hop culture and Black music in the Americas Francesca D’Amico-Cuthbert to talk about their ideal road trip playlists. They talk about the connection between playlists and mixed tapes, the art of creating a playlist, and what makes a good playlist for a road trip. They then share with each other playlists that we put together for the show, respond to each other’s choices, and discuss the commonalities between our choices. And be sure to listen to our playlists, which are embedded below.
