The Hilltop Glove Podcast
The Hilltop Glove Podcast is where culture meets economics. Based in the Carolinas, THG explores Southern creative life through candid conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, organizers, and cultural leaders. We talk about hip-hop, art, business, politics, identity, community, and the forces shaping the South—but underneath every conversation is a bigger question: Who creates the culture, who owns it, and who gets to benefit from it? The Hilltop Glove: Where Culture Meets Economics.
