A Musical Time Machine

The Takeaway | Apr 8, 2016

On Friday, we take a step back from the news to explore what's happening online, on television and on the radio that brings the arts, music and entertainment to life.

Melissa Locker is a culture reporter whose work has been featured in The Guardian and Time among others, and this week she brings us www.radiooooo.com.

Anywhere from Columbia in the 1950s, Tahiti in the 1960s to Lithuania today.
