Abstract
Abstract Music podcasts have proliferated as public discourse about popular music. A significant part of the expanding podcast industry, music podcasts include titles such as All Songs Considered, Switched on Pop, Song Exploder, Sound Opinions, New York Times Popcast, and Lost Notes. These podcasts often feature a combination of conversation and musical selections, which highlight aspects of the music for podcast listeners. In this article, I argue that we should think of music podcasts as persuasive demonstrations of music consumption. Music podcasts present music as a subject for discussion and also implicitly model listening techniques, convincing podcast listeners to adopt specific approaches to music recordings. I explore three podcasts: All Songs Considered, Switched on Pop, and Disability Visibility. I examine how these podcasts present music as their subject, while advancing particular theories of listening that can serve or subvert privileged modes of music reception.
音乐播客作为流行音乐的公共话语已经激增。音乐播客是不断扩大的播客行业的重要组成部分,包括《All Songs Considered》、《Switched on Pop》、《Song Exploder》、《Sound Opinions》、《New York Times Popcast》和《Lost Notes》等。这些播客通常结合了对话和音乐选择,为播客听众突出了音乐的各个方面。在这篇文章中,我认为我们应该把音乐播客看作是音乐消费的有说服力的展示。音乐播客将音乐作为一个讨论的主题,同时也隐含地模拟了听力技巧,说服播客听众采用特定的方法来录制音乐。我探索了三个播客:All Songs Considered、switch on Pop和Disability Visibility。我研究了这些播客是如何将音乐作为主题呈现的,同时推进了特定的聆听理论,这些理论可以服务于或颠覆音乐接受的特权模式。
