Know Your History is a documentary radio series that I do once a month for DOPEfm Radio and The Word is Bond Rap Radio Hour.

I explore a different topic related to hip-hop music and culture every month. The show is normally half an hour long but I expanded several episodes to a full hour last year.

I fell a bit behind on transcribing the episodes for the blog, but they are all available as a free download right now. You can also stream them over at The Word is Bond.

Click on the individual episodes below to read the transcript and stream or download the show.

Thanks for listening
