The Listening Show
The albums that make us

The Listening Show, from Radio K (KUOM) at the University of Minnesota, is a 10-ish minute
podcast focusing on albums that inspire and drive our lives. Mixing interviews with musicians
about the memorable albums of their lives, deep dives into album histories, and clips from the
albums themselves, we get at the question of “What does music mean to us?”
