5 podcast episodes according to a theme, curated by a different person each week
December 30 - January 3, 2020
Music: A Worthy, Lifelong Companion - EarBuds Podcast Collective recommendations
PODCAST CURATOR'S NAME: Paul Orefice - Head Honcho at the MusicMattersMuch newsletter
WHY THIS THEME?: Music is one of life's great joys. Don't ever take it for granted. Don't let it just "wash over you" - dive in with both ears and your whole brain whenever possible!
MONDAY: Song Exploder - Aimee Mann - Patient Zero - 20 minutes
Listeners are granted a back-stage pass to the magical, mysterious songwriting process with one of the best songwriters of her generation.
TUESDAY: Sound Opinions - Opinions on Tool, Lana Del Rey & More, Farewell to Ric Ocasek & Daniel Johnston - 58 minutes
Pull up a bar stool and hang out for a while with a couple of highly intelligent, highly opinionated music critics and friends. You'll always be better off for it.
WEDNESDAY: PRI Arts & Entertainment - American Icons: 'Cross Road Blues' - 20 minutes
Robert Johnson is more myth than man at this point. Change that perspective for yourself by listening to this fascinating podcast episode. It explores both the legend and the reality of the mysterious blues guitarist who, as legend has it, "made a pact with the Devil" down at The Crossroads.
THURSDAY: Strong Songs - "Mr. Blue Sky" By Electric Light Orchestra - 35 minutes
Musician Kirk Hamilton is that fun, super-talented friend every true music lover wishes they had. In this incredibly entertaining podcast, Kirk presents a "strong song" to his listeners and peels it back, layer by layer, to reveal exactly what makes the selected tune just so special and appealing. You'll never hear "Mr. Blue Sky" quite the same way again - promise!
FRIDAY: The Beatles Anthology Podcast - Anthology 1 - 12 minutes
No narrator - just an amazing, exhaustive collection of audio clips of The Fab Four. Check out the first of this 18-episode, 28-hour podcast. In addition to hearing from John, Paul, George and Ringo, listeners are treated to tons of song snippets from whatever time period the lads are discussing at the moment. A brilliant and intimate historical document of the most famous band ever.
