My 2017 Favorite Podcasts

Hey Subbies,

The last six months of I've started listening to podcast thanks to Amy Lee of Vagabond Youth from YouTube. I've mostly got into listening to podcast about music and have ventured out to other cultural-media podcasts. Another major reason why I started listening podcast was that my job has the worst internet even for the public and I found an app that I use that allows me to download podcasts. Some of these podcasts have received numerous rewards and or on the top of the charts so hopefully, you can enjoy them as much as I do. I'm really thankful for that because it gets really quiet and boring because of the current situations with L.A. fires the internet is even worse than usual. I'm praying for everyone who are trying to survive these fires especially my friend who lives out there by Creek Fire.

Dissect is a serialized music podcast.
In a world creating and accessing more content than ever before, we’ve quickly become a scrolling culture, hurriedly swiping through this infinite swath of content that seems to replenish without end.
Dissect was created to counter this cultural shift.
We’ll step outside our new consumption habits and take our time analyzing pieces of music measure by measure, word by word.
To appease our new consumption habits, we’ll break up our analysis into short, easily digestible episodes.
Subcribe to Dissect now on iPhone, Stitcher, Google Play, iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.
Because great art deserves more than a swipe.

The Show
A podcast about the making and meaning of popular music hosted by musicologist Nate Sloan and songwriter Charlie Harding. We break down pop songs to figure out what makes a hit and what is its place in culture. We help listeners find "a-ha" moments in the music. Switched on Pop will make you laugh, dance, and ask ridiculous questions like: does the falsetto in One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” essentially make them our modern day Castrati?

Producer/audio engineer/professional guitarist, Jake Jones and award winning producer/audio engineer, Robert Venable bring in legendary guests to pull back the curtain and give you a peek into the behind the scenes operation that keeps the music industry running like a well oiled machine. Is that machine starting to break down? Listen and decide for yourself.
