    My top five podcasts
    This is a great podcast, but especially if you’re a music nerd and need to know more about your favorite bands. Great topics, deep subjects, hits all the feels. Also the interview is done really well and respectful of the artist. I’m a sucker for a good interview, also Zan’s voice is very pleasant. One of my favorite podcasts!

    Amazing episode in one of my favorite shows
    Zan Rowe is a very talented EJ interviewer on double J radio and this whole Series (take 5) is fascinating to anyone interested in music and/or the creative process. This particular one is with Max Richter, who is well known outside the popular Music world as a modern classical musician and composer. He talks about how a wide range of classical, electronic, rock and jazz music has inspired him, exemplified in the five pieces of music he chose to discuss. This is radio at its absolute best.
