In difficult times, it can feel easier to slip into autopilot than to imagine that something better is possible. But throughout history, music has helped people survive, resist, connect and dream beyond the world they were given.
That’s why, alongside the brilliant teams at Drowned in Sound and Tell Studios, we created Sounds Like Change, a podcast exploring the relationship between music, hope, healing and social change through conversations with artists, thinkers and changemakers.
The goal of Sounds Like Change is to ignite hope. Hope is like a muscle; if we do not work on it, it naturally weakens. Each episode is a practice in hope and imagination. Each episode starts with a song of hope chosen by the guest, then moves from personal stories to wider societal questions, and ultimately towards imagining better futures. Conversations are interwoven with moments of sound and reflection, creating space to feel and process.
From roles in a social movement to mental health, climate justice to identity, we ask: what role does sound play in shaping the future?
How can we all incorporate small acts of change into our lives?
Two episodes are out now, with new ones released every 2 weeks. This season’s conversations have left me thinking deeply about how culture shapes political imagination and how the sounds, songs and stories around us influence what we believe is possible.
I’d love for you to join us.
