An Announcement From In Time

Zachary Singer hosts In Time: A Music History Podcast, a series dedicated to the stories woven into the soundtracks of our lives. This isn't just a chronological list of facts or a dry analysis of theory. Instead, each episode digs into how a particular piece of music, artist, or movement was fundamentally shaped by the events, technologies, and social currents surrounding it. You'll hear familiar songs in a completely new way, understanding the political unrest that fueled a protest anthem, the technological breakthrough that created an iconic synth sound, or the personal struggle behind a timeless lyric. The podcast operates on the idea that music doesn't exist in a vacuum; it's a living reaction to and a reflection of its moment. By placing these works back into their original context, the series reveals the deeper connections between the notes we hum and the world that composed them. Tune in for thoughtful, narrative-driven explorations that go far beyond the biography, offering a richer appreciation for why certain melodies continue to resonate across decades. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered about the real story behind the music.
