Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot welcome singer-songwriter Valerie June to the Goose Island Salt Shed Pub for a live interview and performance. The hosts also review the new album from hip hop veterans, Clipse.
Jim and Greg review “Let God Sort Em Out” by Clipse, the hip hop duo’s first work since reuniting. The brothers of Clipse, Pusha T and Malice, split in 2010 and reunited in 2019. Pusha T continued in a solo career, while his brother pursued a solo career as a Christian artist under the name “No Malice.”

Dear Listeners,
For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
Please consider becoming a Sound Opinions member by giving whatever you can via Patreon or with a one-time donation through PayPal. Thanks for listening, and thanks for your support!
