The Corner

Pops Culture

Today’s NRO podcast is with Terry Teachout, on the subject of his new book, Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong. We discuss what made Armstrong a great jazz musician, how a black man in his day could become so popular with white audiences, and what he thought of rock and roll.

John J. Miller, the national correspondent for National Review and host of its Great Books podcast, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
