About this episode
Dan and Kev explore their love for classical music, discussing its timeless nature and sharing their thoughts on various pieces.
In a dramatic change of form, Dan and Kev decide to nerd out on their mutual love of classical music. Join them as they try to find the most precise and sophisticated words to describe twelve wordless pieces spanning the past three centuries. What is it about classical music that makes it so timeless and ageless? Is this music elitist or is it for everyone? And what pieces of classical do Dan and Kev want played at their respective funerals? Listen now to hear Dan and Kev make stupid out-of-key mouth noises in attempts to capture the beauty before them (and make sure you stay tuned to hear our first ever surprise guests!)
