Reasons Revisited

The Sound of Being Human: Jude Rogers

Hello! This week's summer episode is all about music and our powerful relationship to it. Ed is a latecomer to music's joys, but critic, journalist and interviewer Jude Rogers has been a life-long devotee. Jude's new memoir The Sound of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives traces the pivotal moments of her life soundtracked by twelve songs. Along the way she asks psychologists, neuroscientists and sociologists why music has such an influence on our lives. Jude joined us to discuss why music activates memories, fuels self-expression and connects us to other people.  Buy <a href="https://www.whiterabbitbooks.co.uk/titles/jude-rogers/the-sound-of-being-human/9781474622950/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Sound of Being Human</a>Read <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/juderogers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jude's writing for the Guardian</a>Follow <a href="https://twitter.com/juderogers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jude on Twitter</a> Hosted on Acast.
