On today's episode, Jason talks with Matthew D. Morrison about his extensive researches into the history of race and early American popular music. Matthew is an Associate Professor of African and African American Studies at Stanford University. He is a musicologist and the award-winning author of Blacksound: Making Race and Popular Music in the United States. A proud native of Charlotte, North Carolina, our conversation covers our shared love for the South, and our shared interest in the ways that the history of copyright law can illuminate inequities within the American creative industries.
