Sounding Off is a podcast produced by The Sound of Victory, an interdisciplinary project that explores the historic relationship between music, sound,  and sport. It's hosted by Perry B. Johnson and Courtney M. Cox. In this episode, they are joined by poet and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib, the author of the newly-released A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance. He discusses the percussive elements of sport, local Ohio hoops legends, and why a ballad might be the perfect walk-up song.
