Pushkin

Hey y'all it's Justin Richmond here.

We have a fantastic new podcast for you to check out today.

We're bringing you a taste of Pushkin's newest show

into the zone hosted by novelist, Harry Kunzuru.

Harry loves and has written about music a lot over the years.

His new podcast is all about opposites

and how borders are never as clear as we think.

We have a lot of artificial boundaries in the music world

and in this episode, Harry takes on the border war

between rap and country evoked by Lil Nas X's

chart-topping Old Town Road.

To get out the root of the controversy,

Harry heads down to the foothills of Virginia

where a legendary collection of blues records holds the key

to understanding the insidious separation

of quote-unquote black and white music.

You can find into the zone on Apple

and wherever you get your podcast.

Here's Harry Kunzuru and into the zone.

Hey, this thing is packed up like four knots.
