On this week's podcast:

We're devoting our entire program to a forthright and provocative conversation with Michael Render, the Atlanta rapper better known as Killer Mike. As one half of the hip-hop duo Run the Jewels (along with rapper El-P), Render has become one of hip-hop’s most creative voices, using his music as a tool of enlightenment and social change. In an extended, wide-ranging discussion, Killer Mike shares his outlook and the life experiences that have informed his music.
