A lot of musicians try their hands at other side careers, but what about celebrities known for other work that decide to make a go of it in music? This week we're checking out some famous folks who decided to attempt musical side hustles, for better or for worse.

Musical theatre phenomenon "Hamilton" just became available to the masses, so we decided to take a look at it and other musicals with a historical bent to see how much they actually reflect the events they describe. Pour a drink and settle in for the ultimate nerd collision of Broadway and history.

This week, we're taking a dive into the history of protest music, which turns out to be a truly American tradition. Pour a drink and learn about this fascinating part of history with us.

This week we celebrate the 4th of July, so we decided to do an episode all about anthems! The U.S. is, of course, not the only country in the world with an anthem, so we're taking a little musical sojourn to explore some other anthems with wild backstories. Pour yourself a patriotic drink and spend your holiday with us!

Two episodes ago, we talked about the musical canon, which was literally completely composed of dead, white guys. Imagine, though, if the canon had been more inclusive of women and people of color. What would it have looked like, and who would have been included who had been overlooked before? This week, we pour a couple of bloody Mary's (in person!) and put forth our candidates for the canon that could have been.

TV theme songs are some of our most beloved forms of music, but has this niche of the music industry changed over time? This week, Heather pours a drink and takes us through the history of these snippets of pop culture that we all know and love.

We reference composers from the musical canon all the time, but what actually is it? Who are the "names to know" in classical music, and why are they ALL white men? This week we give you a crash course in the Western musical canon while tossing back a few drinks.

Plagues and pandemics have a way of permanently changing the course of history. This week Chris takes a look at how history's greatest plagues altered the course of music, and temporarily forgets how to read (thanks a lot, vodka!)

It sounds crazy, but we've been making Music Untapped for a year! For this special anniversary episode, we look back at some of the most popular episodes from our first year and discuss the behind-the-scenes deets on making them. Pour a drink and cheers with us as we celebrate 50 episodes and gear up for year 2!

The short-lived, niche art and social movement known as Futurism was incredibly weird and a little more tied to Fascism than we'd like, but its influence on later major composers like Stravinsky and John Cage is hard to ignore. This week, Heather walks us through this sliver of music history that includes everything from a serious disdain for opera to music created by airplane propellers.
