For this week’s DJ Sessions, we speak with Kyle Meredith who hosts “The Weekly Feed” out of WFPK in Louisville, Ky. He’s also music director there, and joins Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson to talk about female musicians that are driving the future of music.


Note: We have a Spotify playlist for our weekly DJ Sessions segment! The playlist is updated each week with new songs. Spotify is free to use, but requires a login.
