Same Circle, Different Song

from The Shift

In this solo episode, Trisha examines a shadow she left out of three episodes on music and connection: the same doors music opens for connection can just as easily be used to draw a line around who belongs. What happens when the belonging a crowd creates turns on you mid-song? And what do you actually do when you're standing inside a circle that starts singing something you can't join? Trisha also revisits a decision to launch a series on sport, after the World Cup made clear that sport carries the same two faces as music, working through the same mechanisms. Trisha wants your voice for the new series. Send her a voice note telling her about a sporting moment that shifted you, or a moment sport told you that you didn't belong. Either one. Both, if you've got them. Referenced in this episode: Episode 84: Music Is Universal, Music Is Particular - the Listener Voices episode that prompted this reflection. Make sure you join Trisha in this journey of growth and discovery throughout the year via Substack or LinkedIn.
