It’s Queue Points one-on-one time! We’re joined by podcaster Leah B, creator of the weekly music history podcast In The Mix with Leah B. Leah shares her path from dreaming of radio to launching her own podcast, and how the memory of her brother inspires her work today.
We dig into Detroit’s deep musical roots, from Motown to gospel and house, and the artists who shaped Leah’s ears; Vanessa Williams, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and Slum Village. Then we get into a friendly debate: which decade wins R&B—80s, 90s, or 2000s? Finally, we have a blast celebrating Black TV theme songs that live rent free in our heads: Amen, Living Single, Family Ties, Hanging With Mr. Cooper, Gimme a Break, and more.
