Funky Friday Episode 82: Motor City Funk. Detroit built the engine. Funk took it somewhere else. Episode 82 traces Motor City Funk from the hidden musicians behind Motown through psychedelic soul, heavy grooves, and the musical evolution that eventually launched the Mothership.

Funky Friday hits a milestone with Episode 30 — the Dirty 30. This set rumbles like a late-night train ride: James Brown’s Hot Pants, Rick James’ Super Freak, and deep cuts like Rock Creek Park fuel a graffiti-splattered journey through raw, underground funk.

A cross-country celebration of funk’s hometown heroes—from Dayton to Oakland, Minneapolis to NOLA. Funky Friday Episode 25 brings the groove city by city.
