Go-Go has been THE sound of D.C. since the late 1970’s. In 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser designated it the official music of the District. But what happens when an art form that's intended to be subversive is embraced by those in power? Hosts Michael Schaffer and Bridget Todd discuss what Go-Go means to both of them, how it's influenced their perspective on the city, and if Go-Go could go national. Want some more D.C. news?
