About this listen

Hosted by Postell Pringle, LOC Mixtape digs into the stacks of the largest library in the world, The Library of Congress, to make the ultimate mixtape. We find the best, craziest, most inspiring songs in the library archive and talk to experts about who made them and why. Then, we mix it up, bringing in amazing contemporary recording artists to make new songs inspired by those classics.
