The Extended Version: a journey towards hip hop

Jon Saxon was born six months before hip hop, in 1973, and was raised on Bromyard Road in the rural-England market town of Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire – 5539 miles away from hip hop’s Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. The two would eventually meet in front of the high school bike sheds 12 years later. This podcast charts Jon’s musical journey towards that very day, and celebrates the relationship that endures nearly 40 years on with the help of old radio recordings, a living room full of vinyl, and a raft of ridiculous childhood memories.
