    Matt McGinley entered the music industry over 15 years ago as the drummer for the band Gym Class Heroes. Nowadays, Matt’s a contributing music producer for hit radio shows and podcasts, like This American Life, Serial, Nice White Parents, and S Town. Suffice it to say, he produces a lot of music.

    How do you get into a Princeton lunch club? | feat. Mark Oppenheimer

    Back in the day, Princeton eating clubs were all the rage. It’s where you tapped into the pulse of the Princeton experience. Allegiances were sworn. Bread was broken. Bonds were forged with fellow members, some of whom would become crucial connections in the post-college world. The bicker of 1958 is a tale of a time gone by, but also a reminder of the continued struggle with anti-semitism and exclusion. Listen to Gatecrashers, a hidden history of Jews in the Ivy League, wherever you get your podcasts. Credits Curious State is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast hosted and produced by Doug Fraser.

    Is nature cool with cannibalism? | feat. Bill Schutt

    It’s a tough world out there, eh? To live. To die. To hear the call of nature and answer it by eating your children. Just ask Bill Schutt, the author of Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History. He discovered something shocking: Cannibalism in nature is incredibly widespread. In fact, it covers the entire spectrum of the animal kingdom.

    Why is the Stranger Things music so haunting? | feat. David Klotz

    The music of Stranger Things haunts living rooms across the globe, and at times steals the show. It takes a professional touch to properly integrate music to serve the goal of a scene, and of a moment. Be it for signaling tension, to call back to a previous season, to ratchet up the thrills, or to bring comic relief. Creating the right music offers the opportunity to elevate a scene. But getting the timing just right is what makes it so. Because it’s not just what music plays—it’s when. To learn more about the films and TV series David Klotz has worked on, check out his IMDB page. Credits Curious State is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast hosted and produced by Doug Fraser.
