This week on View from the Gutters our topic work is Hip Hop Family Tree, Vol. 1-3, by Ed Piskor. Produced in an old-school half-tone style, the series examines the history and evolution of hip hop from its roots in 1970s Brooklyn into the 1980s and ever greater public consciousness.

In our recommendation section our hosts nominated Gunnerkrigg Court, Old Man Logan, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Friends with Boys, The Rabbi's Cat, and Battling Boy for discussion on our next episode, and our selected title is The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Our hosts for this episode are Andrew Chard, Tobiah Panshin, Joe Preti, Kayleigh Fleeman, and podcast coach Kenny Wisdom, host of On the Bubble.
