What's the Story? Episode February 15, 2022
(What's the Story) Motown?
12:00pm - 12:52pm
On this week's episode we get into the history of Motown Records and the genre that came to be associated with the indie record label out of Detroit. This episode is more history-heavy which I think is important given February is Black History Month, after all. I played a couple classic Motown tracks to get us in the right sonic headspace, and then for the rest of the show we focused on some contemporary 2020s artists who are signed to Motown Records today.
