Did someone say series 4?

*beat drop*

To kick off the new series, Meg and Sara talk to actual real life best friends Lee Arnold aka. King Monk and Marek Romaniszyn.  Lee is a Hip Hop aficionado - he runs King Monk studios and is the brains behind the Hip Hop Historian Society. Marek is the Assistant Community Curator at Leeds Museums & Galleries and really likes Ninja Turtles.

We find out (lots) about Leeds' hip hop roots, and ask how we go about collecting that kind of history. Marek and Lee chat about the exhibition they have planned in 2023, and, as always, their favourite takeaways.
