A podcast centered on going beyond the music to dissect song lyrics and how they relate to philosophy, data, anecdotes, current events, and more. What do these songs have to say about the world and what does that mean for our lives? It's a music podcast for academics. It's a TEDx series for punk rockers. We focus primarily on lyric-driven artists of all genres.
