Each week, the guests and hosts on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour share what's bringing them joy. This week: the Willem Dafoe film Inside and the podcast Louder Than A Riot.
an NPR music podcast. The first season was about the intersection of hip hop and incarceration in America. Obviously, I am biased. These are my colleagues. These are my friends, but this is a phenomenal show. Season 1 took this fascinating deep dive into the way that hip-hop lyrics can be used as evidence in criminal cases. It reported news, it made news, and it won awards. It generally made us proud and made us very excited about Season 2.
The first episode of Season 2 dropped this Thursday, and it goes even deeper. I maybe already even like it more. It starts with the trial of Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. It uses that trial as a jumping off point into some kind of surprising directions. It examines hip-hop's relationship with women and, as the season progresses, with queer people.
It's amazing how much this show sounds so effortless and conversational. Sidney Madden and Rodney Carmichael are the hosts and they talk to each other and to producer Gabby Bulgarelli, who was great here. They're untangling extremely complex ideas about race and gender, fandom toxicity and so much more in a way that feels effortless but clearly is not effortless. So much reporting and editing and hosting talent went into making this show great. I just savored that first episode.
