Strange Currency mixes and matches the old with the new, the familiar with the less familiar. Though we can all build our own playlists, it's still fun when someone does the heavy lifting for us. Host Jedd Beaudoin scours the wild terrains of new releases and searches the outback of classic cuts to bring you a thought-provoking listening experience each time.
This week, you’ll hear music from Still Flying from Bridget Kearney and Benjamin Lazar Davis plus songs from Breakestra, the Staple Singers, Chicano Batman and others.
