Will Robin, an assistant professor of musicology at the University of Maryland’s School of Music, has a new podcast called Sound Expertise. It’s a platform for music scholars to talk about their research.
I have really been enjoying this show. It manages to go very deep, while remaining brief and accessible at the same time. I am talking about how the show can address systemic racism in music schools, and define the qualities of timbre that characterize “1980s” music, all while remaining around 45 minutes per episode.
And when I say accessible, I mean that I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend it to someone outside of the field of music.
Will is striking a really good balance with this show and I am learning new things each episode. Be sure to check it out!
