Michial Farmer moderates a conversation with Danny Anderson and Nathan Gilmour about the American folk music scene in the twentieth century. Focusing on three giants of the genre and the political questions that they raise, the Humanists dig into the grand myth of populist music, the strange mix of radicalism and conservatism that follows folk music, and the recent death of Pete Seeger. Among the singers and other realities discussed are Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, folk-rock, Joseph Stalin, and the Clearwater movement.
