Ensnared is a weekly live radio show, podcast, and music platform hosted by musician and comedian Sam Wolff on Radio Free Brooklyn. The show sits at the intersection of conversation and discovery, featuring interviews with musicians, producers, comedians, and artists alongside a carefully curated mix of underground hip hop, indie rock, soul, jazz, electronic music, and beyond. Beyond the studio, Ensnared expands into live tapings, performances, and curated showcases that bring the conversations into real spaces. By highlighting the people, records, and communities shaping independent music, Ensnared captures the energy of a living scene and invites listeners into the world behind the songs.
