5. Popular Music
Episode notes
As a UNESCO City of Music, and home to the Institute of Popular Music, Liverpool is a city with music at its heart. Exploring cultural phenomena from The Beatles to Taylor Swift, in this episode we look at the research taking place around popular music. What can we learn from the many different perspectives of popular music? How has it changed society in the past, and how will the music industry evolve in the future?
Gavin Freeborn is joined by Dr Holly Tesler and Dr Mike Jones from the University of Liverpool’s School of Music, and early career researchers Dr Amy Skjerseth and Dr Samuel Murray. More information available at https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/research/original-ideas/
