A Deeper Listen

A Deeper Listen is part of why I’m a proud KEXP amplifier. The world at large seems to settle all too often for glossy, surface level nonsense labeled as “art”. If we only give time and space to product placement and basically audio advertisements, when are we actually listening to music? I think a program like A Deeper Listen is a reminder to seek out information about the artists you have no idea about and open your mind to a perspective beyond yourself. Exit the echo chamber and dive in. It’s not about blind agreement, it is about hearing the work an artist is doing and why they need our collective support. Thanks KEXP!

I It is fascinating to hear the artists talk about their music. I often wonder about their sources of inspiration and how they develop song ideas. This podcast does an excellent job of getting this information out of musicians. Emily Fox asks great questions, and KEXP features great artists, making it a winning combination and worth listening to.

Thank you so much for producing this incredible show! I was really moved by the different interviews and all the historical context you shared, especially about song codes, which have been utilized by oppressed communities across the globe. Would love to see KEXP make even more Palestinian art-focused content!

Thank you for such a thoughtful, touching, and inclusive dive into the current struggle for Palestinian rights and human rights around the world. Our communities need more narratives that bring people together around shared humanity, trauma, and collective action. This mini series struck the perfect chord, and is a piece that I would share with friends and family across the political spectrum as an informative and educational tool. This is exactly the kind of message that I count on KEXP to articulate and amplify.
