Think of it as “cinema for the ears”…the soundtrack to a movie on your headphones. Oh, and if you’re not listening on headphones, please do. If you don’t have good headphones, try listening in your car (park it first!). Our sound designer Erik Hense will be grateful. I’ve been driving him crazy with so many tracks and voices.
The piano music is by myself (Guy Livingston), the opening song is by Lambchop, and the closing song (“New Rules”) is by Jay Watts.
Guests on this week’s episode, in order of appearance: Alexandra, Stephie, Jeroen, Aletta, Saskia, Ali, Yun, Foued, and Nanda. Sound design by Erik Hense.

Hi RR22, glad you liked the Jay Watts song. It’s from a Bandcamp Album produced by Rough Trade – all proceeds go to BLM causes.
Best, G
