Episode one logo Episode One: Say Hello to Music Blocks

This is an Episodic show. You can listen to it in any order, but episode one is always a great place to start.

Full Episode description

Disgust is a powerful emotion, but you might be surprised at the nuanced music it can inspire. We’ll hear deeply personal statements alongside stunning protest music from artists like Billie Holiday, Anderson .Paak, Billie Eilish, Agnes Obel, Daniel Viglietti and Krystof Penderecki.

Content warning: This episode covers some topics that might be unsettling for some younger listeners. It’s the kind of material you might learn in a high school history class, rather than in elementary school history. You might want to listen to a different episode of Music Blocks if you’re around younger ears.

Stuff to think about after you’ve listened:

  • What sounds would you choose to express the feeling of disgust?

  • What are some things that make you feel disgusted? Can you write a short poem or rhyme to express these things?

Ready to explore sounds connected to disgust? Check out our playlists on Spotify or Apple Music.

This is one of eight Music Blocks episodes exploring how musicians express emotions through sound. You can listen in any order. Find more episodes, discussion questions and playlists at MusicBlocksPodcast.org.
