Identity, Jazz and Journalism in the Digital Age with Audrey Hall

In this episode, Anikó and Steve talk with radio presenter and journalist Audrey Hall about the importance of truth, social commentary, and Jazz as the music of the Black community and of protest. She talks about the common trauma of the Black experience, from Miles Davis being arrested for trying to enter the front door of a club where he was due to play to George Floyd and police brutality. She talks about British identity and broadcasting. And, of course, the music, itself.
