Elliott Wilson (L) Danyel Smith (R)
Whattup folks! A while back I had floated (rather Tweeted) the idea of a podcast to Elliott Wilson (formerly Editor-in-Chief of XXL magazine) and Danyel Smith (Editor-in-Chief of Vibe magazine). After a few things (like a long email I sent them about their first podcast)…now I’m their engineer/producer! (Lesson: Twitter is that FIRE. Hit me on there by clicking on the Twitter logo on the right.)
Anyway, I’m mad excited about the future of this. It is sorely needed I think in the online mediascape(Appadurai) of hip hop; and also desperately needed by me because I can’t keep doing the academic thing without an outlet for my creative side. This opportunity came out of left field but man, I’m pretty happy it did. Biggups to Elliott and Danyel!
It is for the hip hop heads but if you aren’t one but want to listen to two of the best journalists for a little of an hour, I think it doesn’t get much better. Plus, they’re married. That’s pretty amazing.
This week’s podcast.

Hey I’m checking the show out, pretty good stuff. Listening to them is like a breath of fresh air, something I try and do with my show, anyway I wanted to know what kind of mic’s you used on this last show? They sound pretty good to be at home. Great show, I’ll be listening.
