  • We kick off a new series called “Day Job.” The first story in this series explores how Chong The Nomad finds musical inspiration during her day job as a line cook. 
  • Carl Newman of The New Pornographers talks about how the state of America influenced the band’s latest album. 
  • We explore music of wrongful imprisonment.  That includes a conversation about a new Broadway musical on the subject, how Pearl Jam and Metallica got one man out of wrongful imprisonment, and how another man started a band entirely of exonerees. 
  • We also hear how 47SOUL fuses traditional Arabic music with electronic beats.
