Welcome to the first episode of *Sound Tasters*! I’m
super excited (and honestly, a bit frustrated) to finally get this podcast up
and running! My original vision for the show was to have full tracks playing
between each segment, adding a full musical experience before and after my
thoughts on each song. But some changes
over at Spotify made that format impossible for now. I really dove into the
licensing process with full enthusiasm, but it turns out that door is shut for
So, while I'm a little disappointed, I'm not going to
let that stop me. Instead of endlessly tweaking, I’m going to share my
unpolished commentary as it is. It might be a bit jarring without the music
seamlessly breaking up each segment, but I still believe there’s something
valuable in sharing these insights.
Here’s the silver lining: without being tied to Spotify
exclusivity, I can now make the podcast available on all major platforms –
Apple, Google, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, and more! So now, no matter where you
prefer to listen, you can tune in.
In this first episode, I’m diving into one of my
favorite genres: A Capella music. It’s a passion of mine, and honestly, it was
the low-hanging fruit for the debut episode. I’ve pulled together a playlist of
some great a cappella tracks for you to enjoy while I walk you through my
thoughts on each. Check out the links below for the Apple Music and Spotify

Make sure to follow and subscribe to the podcast
wherever you listen, and stay tuned for future episodes. Thanks for listening,
and let’s dive into this first taste of a cappella!
