  • UPDATED WEEKLY

If a song captures a moment, a musical movement captures a mindset. From grunge’s distorted power chords to emo’s eyeliner-soaked teenage angst, old school hip-hop’s socio-political commentary to the dreamy swirl of psychedelic rock—music reflects more than just sound. It reveals a style, an attitude, a set of values, a snapshot of human history. On the Jam Sesh Podcast, host Khushi Salgia unpacks the sound, the scene, and the story behind it all. It’s music analysis with depth, edge, and a little bit of chaos.
