One of my favorite voices in radio, Scott Carrier, has a new series.
Distraction Pieces: http://www.scroobiuspip.co.uk/distraction-pieces-podcast/
Scroob talks to people about music/comics/comedy/politics/ideas
So good.
Iāve just been listening to it (home of the brave) today. So good.
Certainly well known, but for anyone not yet familiar: Darwin Grosse has weekly interview/discussions with a wide range of people in music technology:
of course what grounds all of these are personal histories, in long form. specific interests come to the forefront, of course.
some favorites from the archive (with my added note)
andrew pask - real-life insights on using self-designed performance rigs
joshua kit clayton - late 90ās bay area scene and having a political stance
pauline oliveros - on listening
gregory taylor - cassette culture and community
todd reynolds - on creativity (which sounds cliche, but this is truly sincere and excellent)
and there are many more in the archives, darwin is up to the mid 70ās nowā¦
chris cutlerās probes series is great, but be careful falling asleep to this, as you may have vivid electro-acoustic nightmares
I absolutely LOVE the Probes!
Really one of my favorites from MACBA.
The series of the history of sampling was quite good as well, and so is the INTERRUPTIONS series.
They really do amazing job there in Barcelona!
Not a podcast, but I really enjoyed this RBMA lecture with Rashad Becker. He talks a lot about the mastering process, the unavoidability of vinyl playback distortion (and why you should buy a hi-fi turntable, not a Technics 1200). Thereās a particularly interesting passage when heās talking about his own music as creating a environment in which a number of sonified ācreaturesā are interacting and conversing -> a kind of anti-narrative, or stasis that I found very intriguing.
Interestingly, dispels a lot of the rhetoric around preparing vinyl masters (bass phase, high frequency distortion). Using his own voice in the given room as the ultimate āreference trackā.
the podcasts I listen to tend to be less about music and more about story telling/goofs
with special guest lauren lapkus
improv 4 humans
the apple sisters (the most musical of the bunch)
comedy bang abng is usually good
k hole
you made it weird
risk with kevin allison
call Chelsea Peretti
paul f tompkins just started a podcast on earwolf that Iām sure will be fantastic
nosleep podcast is also a great reddit community turned podcast that supports writers / narrators for horror fiction. there are a couple seasons for free at this point it is 20 dollars for a season but the people who read and write (mostly amateur reddit users) the stories get paid. I love this podcast. I never thought I would be happy to pay money for a podcast
Iāve just started listening to Everything Is Stories. http://eisradio.org Pretty interesting. Well produced.

Fellow electronic musician / geek / gamer James Alone just started a new podcast, which is basically him and his friend lee talking excitedly about video games which they love. Itās not going to change your life, but itās a really nice way to discover some fun games to waste time on.
Going to plug my own show, too.
I have a cassette-only, experimental music podcast called Norelco Mori.
It has been mentioned on the old forum, but Iāll let you all know here as well, that I do accept submissions. Please donāt be a stranger, email me at norelcomori@icloud.com if you have a tape of your stuff youād like to hear on the show.
re-stating my endorsement of this excellent, excellent podcast.
interview from California, 1967
'people think that what they cannot talk about doesnāt exist,
and the opposite is really trueā¦
'well, the number of people who participate in a specific kind of art,
is of no importanceā¦
-KStockhausen
I was trying to check out some of your earlier episodes but they wouldnāt play for some reason, it could just something going on with my computer/internet but I thought I should let you know.
Very much enjoying your more recent stuff though.
Also really awesome job on your website aesthetic, it looks great!
Thanks much. Curious what you were experiencing where when stuff wasnāt working⦠will have a look and try and track down any broken / bad linksā¦
I tried playing your first podcast and then the second one but neither worked. It would just start to load but then stop and not play. The time marker would show up but stay at ā0:00ā
@Ted @bwlb I seem to have similar problems. Sometimes episodes just donāt seem to load at all, never even getting at the ā0:00ā. I tried the first two episodes, they didnāt load. I tried the last one: worked fine. Then I tested some random ones (#19, #43) and they didnāt work either, but #43 did work when I left the site and tried again.
I like to listen to Sound Matters http://www.soundmatters.org.uk/
Sound Matters considers the connections between craft practice and sound art.
