New York

From Oxford, Ryan and guest Lauren discuss Lauren's hometown of Kingston, Jamaica, the sociopolitical implications of "good hair", Lauren's decision not to vote in the 2016 election, and the lack of nuance in political discourse before listening to an interview with a Republican immigrant on the subway, a church community in Hell's Kitchen, and a writer in Rochester on the incentive for artists to relocate to smaller communities. *Special thanks to the King's Hall Fund for a generous grant.
