Life–Noted

UPDATE: Thank you for being a listener and checking for the show! We're just hopping on to give you a quick update. Life has been lifing, but rest assured we're working hard to bring you the second season of the show. We are excited about the everyday folks we have lined up to share their music stories. If you haven't signed up for notifications, please make sure to do so wherever you listen, that way you won't miss the start of the second season. Thanks again for listening. You'll be hearing from us soon.

It’s the end of season 1 of Life–Noted but fear not, we’ll be returning in the spring with all new interviews with ordinary folks sharing their unique musical lives. Until then, enjoy episode 81 of our sister podcast, Space Time Music where Lyd the SBW finds an unlikely connection between the musical Oklahoma! and R&B classic, 'Outstanding' by the GAP band.

The SpaceTimeMusic theme music is a sample of the Ana-Tole x Jonah Christian Remix of Ready or Not by the Fugees.
