Louder Than A Riot
Louder Than A Riot, hosted by Rodney Carmichael and Sidney Madden, looks at hip-hop as a culture that has been policed, mined, and asked to carry stories it did not audition for.
Seasons connect artists, court cases, and the business around Black music. The hosts are critics and reporters, and they let a song be evidence without pretending it is only evidence.
NPR gave them room to make a music show that is also a narrative about punishment. Queer artists and women in rap are not a sidebar.
A single episode still works if you know the artist, but the argument is in the sequence.
