"The fun of getting better at your instrument–that's what was fun for me."🎸

Does AI technology take the joy out of music making? In our latest episode, bass virtuoso, DJ, and producer @bludetiger joins music scholar Dr. Clara Latham @thenewschool to discuss the line between labor-saving tech and the pure joy of hard-earned instrumental mastery.

Using Blu's hit track "SHOCK!" as a launchpad, this episode explores her fluency in disco and funk, the physical coordination of DJing while playing bass, and how women musicians navigate industry expectations around skill, labor, and performance.

In our latest episode, Brooklyn rapper, producer, and singer-songwriter @kotathefriend sits down with @brownu professor Dr. Kevin Quashie to reflect on the full spectrum of Black aliveness—holding anger, love, accountability, resilience, and hope all at once.

Drawing from Kota’s track "For Colored Boys" and Dr. Quashie’s book Black Aliveness, this rich conversation explores world-building, audience, spirituality, and language's power to imagine a Black world beyond narratives defined solely by struggle.

Recorded live at @posterhousenyc on September 2, 2026, in conjunction with the 'Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen' exhibition.

"Boxing was the closest thing to being on stage."

For @yungblud, stepping into the ring isn't just about physical fitness—it's a high-stakes lesson in energy management, adrenaline control, and stamina that directly transforms his live shows.

In one of our previous episodes with YUNGBLUD and renowned fitness performance scientist @bradschoenfeldphd, the UK superstar breaks down how sparring taught him to stop blowing out his tank on song one, harness his adrenaline, and pace a stage performance like a 12-round fight.

Together with Dr. Schoenfeld, they dive into the mechanics of boxing, how combat sports and resistance training aid in managing ADHD, and the science of building physical and mental resilience.

How do hyper-specific details in a song help us reflect on our own lives?

In our latest episode, singer-songwriter @jensenmcraeofficial breaks down how an inventory of small memories—like a souvenir pilgrim ashtray—inspired her song "Massachusetts," and how legendary tracks like "Miss You" by @alabama_shakes shaped her approach to detailed, evocative songwriting.

Joined by Williams College historian Dr. Christine DeLucia, this episode dives into how everyday objects, personal archives, and memoryscapes connect our individual stories to broader historical memory.

"What values should AI actually reflect?"

When we try to align AI with "human values," who gets to decide what is right or wrong? In our latest episode, musician and producer @sean_ono_lennon sits down with AI ethics researchers Dr. Jason D'Cruz and Dr. Anat Perry to tackle the fundamental challenge of AI alignment.

Inspired by The Great Parrot Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy, Sean's concept album co-created with Les Claypool, this conversation digs into the ethics, philosophy, and future of artificial intelligence.

🎧 Watch the full episode with @seanonolennon, Dr. Jason D'Cruz, and Dr. Anat Perry wherever you listen to podcasts — link in bio.

Produced in partnership with @radcliffe.institute and recorded live in Cambridge, MA.
