Listen to the last episode:
Music producer and DJ Jennifer Lee — aka TOKiMONSTA — underwent two brain surgeries in 2016 that temporarily stripped her of her ability to understand words or music. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about that life-altering experience and being in the male-dominated field of electronic music.
Also, Kevin Whitehead shares an appreciation of tenor saxophonist Von Freeman.
