Smithsonian Folkways Turns 75

Smithsonian Folkways Recordings was founded in New York City in May 1948, and has since sought to record "people's music" and archive sounds of all kinds from the United States and around the world. As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, the label has organized various programs and efforts, including curating a line-up for the Brooklyn Folk Festival and releasing an album exclusively of North American frog sounds. Director and curator Maureen Loughran joins us to discuss the anniversary alongside Jake Blount, a musician signed to the label.
