If you’re a music fan, you probably know Rick Beato, musician and YouTuber. In his first podcase he interviews Ted Gioia: ‘Ted Gioia is an American music critic and historian. He is author of eleven books, including Music: A Subversive History, The Jazz Standards: A Guide to the Repertoire, The History of Jazz and Delta Blues. He is also a jazz musician and one of the founders of Stanford University’s jazz studies program.’ If you like listening to two gearheads talk about music and the business of music, this one is worth the listen. Being totally honest, I don’t understand half the shit Rick says when he’s talking about music, but I still love his videos. Check out his channel at https://www.youtube.com/rickbeato.
