Description
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, including a conversation about a new Broadway musical on the subject, the story of how Pearl Jam and Metallica helped get one man out of wrongful imprisonment, and a band made up entirely of exonerees. We also hear how 47SOUL fuses traditional Arabic music with electronic beats.Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
