Classical Music and The Social Class System

Only 1% of podcasts make it to episode 20, so through pure process of elimination, this is one of the world's best podcasts. So to celebrate, join me as I dive into that famously light-hearted subject; Classical Music within the Social Class System.I chat about what the Social Class System is, where Classical Music belongs within it and the reasons why. I have a roasting hot take on why it has the place it does, before proposing a "solution" to making it more accessible. The chapters are down below if you fancy skipping to a certain section.If you'd like to support the podcast, you can buy me a beer or a Dr Pepper with my PayPal link below (also in my Instagram bio!)Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but small donations of a few euro/pounds/dollars help keep the lights on round here, if you can afford it xwww.paypal.me/garethhouston92And, if you want to chat more, he's all my socials, I'd love to hear from you!TikTok, Facebook and Instagram: @GarethHoustonFluteSmooches xChapters:0:00 - Episode TWENTY!?2:09 - Peppermint Schnapps wrote this episode5:40 - My Social Class6:20 - UK/Ireland vs USA Social Classes15:39 - Why is Classical Music Upper Class?21:25 - What are we drinking?24:56 - My Hot Take on the Class System29:22 - Classical Music is Deferred Gratification33:12 - My "Solution"39:10 - A Big Thank You from Me x Hosted on Acast.
