Episode description

Lonnie Holley is here to discuss his 2025 album Tonky, his view of and appreciation for Canada, the role the country played for African-American slaves and the evolution of terms ascribed to Black people in America, growing up in juke joints, whiskey houses, and slave camps in Alabama in the 1950s, his interest in salvaging objects to make art, his observations about historical cycles, his song “Protest With Love” and viewing presidencies as temporary viruses, what’s next, and much more.
