Episode notes
Emily Hilliard is the folklorist at Berea College in Kentucky, and the co-owner of Spinster, a feminist record label. We talk about her lifelong passion for folk music and folkways and how it has evolved. We also discuss the power of folk music to create community bonds and bring people together in positive ways. Emily also talks about the future of folk, and her belief that it is a living, breathing thing and not just an artifact of the past to be preserved.
