What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Music

The Big Mates look to the future of the podcast by kicking off a tournament to decide the artist covered in a future season of What Is Music?

Adam, Steve, and Lucas reveal the participants for the forthcoming competition and set the first round of matches.

These head-to-heads will take place daily, starting on Tuesday May 5th.  The matches will be voted on by you, our listeners, and will take place exclusively on our Patreon - but you only need a Free Membership to participate. Head to patreon.com/whatismusicpod to sign up!
The matches kick off at 6pm (UK time) each day, and voting will be open until 5pm (UK time) the following day. The semi-finals and the Grand Final will take place at a later date. 
Who have the Big Mates picked? Who have the listeners picked? Who is music? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

To vote - head to patreon.com/whatismusicpod and sign up for a Free Membership, or a paid membership if you prefer! All paid memberships come with access to our subscriber-only Discord server where you can discuss the matches and their results with other listeners and Adam, Steve, and Lucas!

Welcome to Welcome to Twin Peaks: A Twin Peaks Podcast for Beginners.

Join Adam and Steve as they put on their investigation trenchcoats, pour a hot steaming cup of coffee, and dive into the world of Twin Peaks.

In this first episode they introduce the podcast, the season to come, and their relationship with Twin Peaks and David Lynch. They discuss their knowledge of the show, including its place in culture at the time it was released and now, the vibe of the show, and whether or not the coffee is “damn good” or “damn fine.”

They look at the episodes to come, which Adam has seen many times before and Steve has never seen in his life!

The second episode of this brand new podcast venture is out right now! We discuss the Pilot of Twin Peaks and begin digging into the mystery.
