Music For Your 30s🎵
Curated by...
Paolo Grassini (he/him), creator/co-host of The Song Will Go On
Why did you choose this theme?
A Deezer study suggested that people stop discovering new music at the age of 30. This study points to multiple reasons, like busier lives and our brains not soaking up music like they do from ages 12 to 22.
This week's podcast selections will help you fight that statistic.

Taboo Science is a narrative-style podcast that answers the questions you're not allowed to ask.
It looks at taboos and stigmatized subjects through a scientific lens, using a lighthearted and sometimes funny approach to untangling their influence on society. Episodes have covered cannibalism, the penis, and eating animals, and in season 3, we're diving into episodes about asexuality, breastfeeding, addiction, and more.
PODCAST NEWS from Podnews:
After it's acquisition by Spotify, 14,000 Anchor podcasters had their user information and passwords posted on a Russian-language black-hat hacking website.
Spotify plans to cut 200 jobs from its podcasting division. The company says that’s 2% of its global workforce, but these are substantial cuts to the podcast division.
The Gen Z Podcast Listener Report was unveiled by SXM Media, focusing on U.S. podcast listeners aged 13-24.
