Episode 066 - Don’t Fear the Timpani: Classical Music Debunked
Description
Highlights of this episode include demystifying what “classical music” actually is - and why it’s not just for stuffy concert halls and people who say “fortissimo” unironically. We’ll explore how centuries of symphonies, sonatas, and concertos laid the groundwork for everything from film scores to pop bangers. From Bach to Beethoven to composers you’ve heard in movie trailers without realizing it, we’ll show you how classical music still shapes the way we feel, listen, and even vibe. Whether you’re a lifelong music lover or just someone who wants to know the difference between Baroque and Romantic, this episode will give you just enough insight to sound wildly cultured at your next dinner party - or at least fake it convincingly.
