    Best New Podcast of 2021
    This is a thoughtful, authoritative, and widescreen look at the pulsing undercurrent between countercultural production and political economy in the mid-twentieth century. For anyone interested in music as a space of inquiry for progressive politics, or anyone interested in the deep and often-overlooked history of these diverse cultural spaces (dancefloors) and their role in shaping our own cultural moment, LOVE IS THE MESSAGE is essential listening. Tim Lawrence is a tireless historian of NYC dance culture, and the author of several definitive books on the subject. Jeremy Gilbert is an incisive cultural critic and left-wing thinker familiar to anyone with ears for the British left. But they are both DJs and music fiends, and their conversation (while overtly expert at times) is eminently listenable. Turn on, tune in, get down, as they say.

    Unique History!
    For lovers of house, disco, and that whole scene from the 70’s, 80’s, etc., this is the place to listen and learn! A wonderful presentation of a certain period in music history, and the fascinating links and influences it has had on music today ever since. Fascinating, unique, factually ground, and FUN to learn and listen to. GREAT JOB, GUYS!!
