Episode 52: The Bass Episode:
I always joke that I’m not here to educate anyone, and I hate delivering things that feel like lectures or PowerPoint presentations—but this week I probably come the closest I’ve ever come.
As I explain in the episode, this is simply the story my record collection tells. There are surely many other ways to trace the bass’s development in 20th-century popular music—but this one is mine.
I hope you enjoy it!
