Taking It Down 80: Summer of Soul, Netflix’s Somos, and Loki’s Fourth Episode

Listen to the show above or in any podcast app

If there’s a documentary to see this summer, it’s Summer of Soul (…Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) from Questlove. The good news is that it’s streaming on Hulu. The people at Taking It Down this week make an attempt to express its joy (1:25). After the break, it’s an examination of how the new Netflix series Somos. owes a lot to David Simon yet maintains a high level of interest (25:10). Finally, it wouldn’t be a summer episode if they didn’t at least discuss the newest episode of Loki, titled “The Nexus Event” (38:53).
