A podcast of weekly conversations with musicologists, ethnomusicologists, music theorists, and music critics, hosted by musicologist Dr. Will Robin and produced by D. Edward Davis.

Press release: 

When we think about music and deafness, it’s often through the lens of Beethoven: the mythological figure who overcomes his hearing loss to compose great music. But members of the d/Deaf community often talk less about hearing loss than about deaf gain.  And we can gain a lot from understanding the wide range of methods through which d/Deaf people engage with, create, and listen to music. A conversation with musicologist Jessica A. Holmes, who researches the relationship between music and disability, including the listening expertise found in d/Deaf culture.
