Songs of Love, State, and Self Podcasts

Songs of Love, State, and Self: The Podcasts

In the music history class Songs of Love, State, and Self, students learned about basic formal and parametric analysis of music, in addition to style history and the cultural work of music. In order to synthesize these formal and contextual analytical methods, students chose their own songs to investigate. The wrote essays in which they argued about the message that the song of their choice conveyed. Once the essays were complete and graded, they produced podcasts using material from their writing, but presented and edited in an engaging form. A selection of these podcasts were broadcast on the Carleton College radio station, KRLX, in November 2018, and they are now available here, online. On this site you'll find a bit of information about who produced each podcast, the prompt they were responding to, and the main argument.
