About this episode
Dan and Kev discuss the implications of grocery store music and the significance of music in public spaces.
In their second inter-season interlude, Dan’s got a bone to pick with…grocery store music? Was it really worth writing a screed on Reddit about? What does it mean to have music that plays in a public forum? What is this music supposed to signify, and who chose this music? Should music slow us down, and should we place more emphasis on ambient music? Should there be Music for Airports…in airports? Also, why does Dan hate your Spotify Wrapped? Kev is a good sport on this one and just lets the mad man ramble. See you in Season 3!
