Discs of Dissent! Sounds of Subversion! "Music and Global Politics" is an arts and ideas-theme based podcast combining an exploration of politics and political philosophy alongside music listening and appreciation. Ranging across all genres and countries, fusing rigorous concepts and fascinating ideas with exciting and iconic musical sounds. Our aim is to think philosophically about music as a political text, from tone poems to tropicalia, from gospel to grunge, and opera to hip-hop. From Thailand to Tallinn, from Soweto to Surabaya and from Mumbai to Mobile, we traverse the world. We guarantee your eardrums a-tingle and your brain cells a-quiver, with something special to take away you wont get anywhere else. We feature lectures as well as interviews and tackle hard hitting contemporary developments alongside those long overlooked and historically significant. Each episode has a set theme that furthers challenging ideas and highlights musical ideas and compositions. Please join us
