About this episode

Marisa Anderson discusses her new album and various cultural topics related to music and conflict.

Marisa Anderson returns to discuss her compelling new album, The Anthology of UnAmerican Folk Music Vol. 1 , the joys of touring, responding to a Patreon subscriber’s inquiry about her new band Ruminants, exploring the Bob Dylan Center and immersing herself in the private record collection of the late, famed cultural collector/curator, Harry Smith, how she landed on recording her own three-album set focussing on music from places that the United States of America has been in conflict with since 1970, including Southeast Asia, the USSR and the Arabic and Islamic regions of the world, why “UnAmerican” is such a loaded, multi-faceted term, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
