What My Skip Button Taught Me About Bias
from The Shift
In this solo episode, Trisha turns the CQ lens on herself, examining a habit she caught in her own listening since her conversation with Mike Newton in Episode 82. What is your thumb actually doing when a song comes on? Trisha unpacks four different doors music uses to move us — the beat, being moved, surprise, and story — and realises she's only ever really been opening one of them. What does it mean when the same song that feels like home to one person tells another they don't belong? And what might be waiting in the very songs your thumb reaches to skip? Trisha closes with an invitation: choose one song from a genre you usually skip, and use the PAUSE process to stay with it all the way through.
