From Classical Notes to Political Votes: Orchestrating Ideas in Music & Philosophy w/ Benjamin Crocker

Join Ben and me as we explore the moment in his career as a musician that sparked his passion for studying political philosophy. In this conversation, we delve into the nuances of political perspectives in the US, reflect on the origins of democracy, and consider why Los Angeles became the epicenter of Hollywood. We later discuss the interplay between language and music, how Beethoven’s greatest works came to be, and whether listening to music on AirPods is a grave sin.
