| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Dana Stevens. Welcome to the Slate Culture Gab Fest. I think Jack Antonoff |
| 0:14.8 | should leave edition. Today is Wednesday, July 7th, and today we're going to talk about the new |
| 0:19.5 | concert documentary Summer of Seoul, which is we're going to talk about the new concert documentary Summer |
| 0:20.9 | of Seoul, which is also the directorial debut of the DJ, performer, band leader, Questlove. |
