This episode features Odario Williams, of CBC Radio’s Afterdark and the Hip-Hop Collective Grand Analog, in conversation with Questlove about the musician’s BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated documentary feature, Summer of Soul. The acclaimed film represents Questlove’s directorial debut and tells the story of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, a major cultural event that has lived in obscurity for half a century. Throughout this discussion, these two eclectic artists cover Philadelphia vernacular, Questlove's initial decision to pass on Summer of Soul, the significant footage left out of the final cut, tracking down living witnesses and the massive discoveries made about the festival's lineup.
