In the final episode of this season, Adia is joined by “Queen of Bounce” Big Freedia. From Beyoncé to Kesha, Freedia’s collaborations proudly reflect her upbringing in New Orleans, and the spirit of the church that resides in her. Adia and Freedia talk about what it means to be insistent on pursuing liberation, the relationship between good food and good music, and the power of community. Thank you for joining us in another season of leaning into the blues. For the playlist of songs curated for this week’s episode visit: https://bit.ly/cr-freedia
