From hills to hollers
An all things traditional music podcast. Together we will explore histories, stories and cultural backgrounds of traditional music from many parts of the world. With the help of ethnomusicologists, musicians, storytellers, record collectors and archivists I hope to share more than just a song or a tune or a style of music but an insight into a deeper understanding of cultural practices, history and tradition, all through the lense of music.
