Customer Reviews
want more/ suggestions
I thoroughly enjoyed this series of podcasts and after listening to each one, I agree with a previous review that it left me wanting more information. I think the interviews should be more in depth and if that is not possible then it should be made a point to provide links to find more information.
I am very intrigued!
As a recently diagnosed person with mild cognitive impairment, I am seeing information about therapeutic measures that can be taken to ease my progression. I find this to be confirmation to my experience giving a name to a soothing experience I’ve seen as a caregiver for someone with dementia, and now as a person who is facing aspects of dementia-music therapy!
producer weighs in
This is to ask those who DON'T produce this podcast to tell us what you think... seriously - we created this to be a place where people start to talk about what we think is one of the most exciting developments in both science and the arts - that is, a new approach to thinking about music as it relates to things like brain structure, brain chemistry, evolution, and more. Listen to these podcasts, and let us know if there's a hunger for more like this, or if you'd like to listen to this in different settings - like on the "radio" or on the web where it could be surrounded by related links you could follow to get more information.
What about the format - just talk, no music or sound. Too dry? A welcome change?
Let us know - here -
Thanks td#21 for your thoughtful comments - this is, in some ways, just a gloss on the subject, given that it's 15 to 20 minutes - but I take your point - you want me to dig in a bit more, and sometimes I do. Listen to some others, and please share your comments good and bad.
best,
