Calling all house heads! This week on Pop Records, we're diving deep into the world of house music and the ethical minefield of sampling.

Join host Kimberly Springer and her "sparky friend" music producer Gavin Bradley as they explore:

  • The thin line between creative expression and artistic theft.
  • Who gets paid when you "borrow" from the archive?
