40 Years of Schoolin'
40 Years of Schoolin’ is a journey through forty songs — one for each year, 1950 to 1989 — retold with stories, stray facts, and sidelong glances at the world that made them. Each episode reshuffles the decades: country beside jazz, doo-wop beside Ugandan funk, all threaded by time, sound, and a dry sense of ideas.
Hosted by Ben Cornish, 40 Years of Schoolin’ mixes storytelling, music history, and a touch of the surreal. It’s less a countdown than a count along — from cracked 78s to neon-lit synths, all finding their place on one long spinning reel.
