This podcast is a companion to the website ongoinghistoryofprotestsongs.com. I started the website on December 6, 2017. Not only have I always been a passionate music fan, but I have always had an interest in the historical developments of music. An important part of that history is the integral role that music has played within social movements. I have always been drawn to music with a socially conscious message.
