In the latest episode of Niche to Meet You, Leslie Eiler Thompson jumps into the ropes to explore the joy and tradition of Double Dutch jump roping. The episode tells the story of how the sport grew up alongside hip-hop (only to be forgotten), visits meetups in Nashville and New York City where it's being kept alive, and explores why something that looks like play carries profound cultural gravity.
