Known to most of the world as a political playground, Washington, D.C. is a city where decisions that shape the course of, not just American, but HUMAN history, are made every day.

Built on the legacy of jazz and go-go, D.C. is on the cusp of a creative explosion and bringing everything from hip-hop to indie rock into the fold.On our latest podcast, we're kicking off a twelve-part series exploring the sounds of our home, where they come from, and where they may be going. Joining us for this inaugural installment of Sounds Of Washington, D.C. are Hometown Sounds host Paul Vodra, and Philip Basnight, one-half of D.C. folk-pop powerhouses Broke Royals.Show NotesGet to know the artists featured on this episode:Odd Mojo: Bandcamp | TwitterReed Appleseed: Bandcampallthebestkids: Official Site | Bandcamp | TwitterLight Beams: Bandcamp | Facebook | TwitterBroke Royals: Official Site | Facebook | TwitterChopteeth Afrofunk Big Band: Official Site | Facebook | TwitterIncidental music courtesy of Aquatic Gardener.
