Rooftop Music Studio Podcasts

I wanted to bring together a music cross section of intellectuals and talk about why we all, as music lovers, like particular pieces of music. The idea started while I was listening to a song wondering why I liked it. The premise was do I like this song, a) because it’s put together well in songwriting and recording/mastering, or b) because it sparks a memory that was meaningful in my life. The results are here in this podcast and surprised me. Maybe surprising for you too.
