Music Is Universal, Music Is Particular
About this episode
Trisha engages with listeners from around the world to explore the impact of music across cultures and its role in personal and professional contexts.
In this episode, Trisha hands the microphone to her listeners. After last week's confession about the skip button, voice notes arrived from around the world - Scotland, South Africa, the USA, Guatemala, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Australia - sharing the songs that shifted them, the music that carries their pride, and how they use music deliberately in their work across cultures. Is music a universal language, or thousands of particular ones? A newly published piece of research gives a name to the answer that runs through every one of these voices - and it may reshape how you think about similarity and difference across cultures. Trisha also discovers which doorway is the hardest to catch yourself walking through, and finds an unexpected homecoming in a song she almost skipped.
