How Macklemore Got His Name - Studio 360

What this episode covers

When the Seattle native Ben Haggerty was 17, he spent a summer in New York City. He made the trip to study art, but spent more time running around the city dressed in ridiculous thrift shop finds. In costume, he called himself Professor Macklemore -- which he'd later shorten to his rap pseudonym. Listen to Kurt Andersen's full interview on this weekend's show: http://www.studio360.org/
