In Episode One, Andy and Rob dive deep into Melody. Melodies are fundamental to our concept of music. They can convey patriotism, hope, fate, love, loss and can touch our most raw emotions. This podcast looks at what makes a good melody, how they differ throughout the world and how they have changed over time.
