122. Mind Blown! YMAAA Conversations That Could Change How You Hear Music

Send us Fan MailThis week, Al takes a break from the usual format to revisit nine previous episodes where the guest changed the way that he thinks about or listens to music. Al groups the excerpted discussions into the two groups: guests who helped him to give artists he had neglected a more careful listen and guests who taught him to think about music in new ways.Al is on Twitter at @almelchiorBB, and this show has accounts on Twitter and Instagram at @youmealbum.
