Ep.209 - DITD 4th Anniversary Special

<p>Four years ago on April 10th, Diggin' In The Digits began. Since that Tuesday, we have dropped an episode every Tuesday. We've never missed a drop and have learnt so much over those four years. We celebrate with a reflection, our favourite episodes in the past year; an existential question linked to Hip-Hop's upcoming 50th birthday and we bring back Deadpan Recitals.</p><p>Thanks for spinning as we continue our journey.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:</p><p>Weekly Music Roundup - (1:43) (Ben = Bold / Charlie = Italics)</p><ul> <li><em>GQ - For Good Measure</em></li> <li><em>C.S.
