  • Vidwest Studios in Columbia is a non-profit community media center that provides equipment, space, and training for digital media production. Primary funding comes from a city-collected tax, but Matt Schacht - co-founder and today's guest - says that revenue stream could soon dry up: "The city is either going to make a long-term investment in community media, or our leaders are going to make a decision to part ways with community media."

    In this episode of "Cover Story with Stephanie Shonekan," University of Maryland graduate Mekhi Abbott joined Stephanie to discuss the thematic differences between “Bound” by Ponderosa Twins Plus One and “Bound 2” by Kanye West. The original song, released in 1969, is full of affection and yearning, and was relatively unknown until Kanye West sampled it in 2013. But Kanye's interpretation of the song is a lot more coarse, and it’s often viewed as a dark twist on a love song.
