Producer Notes:

This episode has been in development longer than (possibly) any other episode we've done.  We decided we wanted to do a show on the theme of social justice around 4 years ago, and started picking out songs and collecting interview clips on that topic.  Usually once each year, I have had this episode on our production calendar, and for various reasons - mostly related to our lack of available time to research and seek out quality songs - we would scratch this episode and do something else instead.  But we were able to pull the trigger this year, mainly thanks to the research and input provided by one of the UTR Critics (Thank you, Larry Stephan!).  And the end result went beyond my expectations.  We'd love to know what you thought of this show, and if you'd like to see us repeat this theme in a future year.  (Dave)
