The Gift Of Life: How Music Helps Us All
Episode 15
Sunday, 10 March, 2024

The final episode of the TOWNSOUNDS podcast is the series’ most ambitious. It brings together 27 of the guests that feature over the course of the previous 14 episodes, this time, all with one subject on their lips - music as a gift of life. Over the course of this episode the speakers talk on themes that include; mental health and well-being, coping mechanisms, the ecstasy of performance, and the shifting consciousness enabled by music. All this is tied together by Sam Hodgson’s thoughtful hosting style and a soundscape that underpins the topics of discussion.Thank you for all the support we received from those who made the making of this podcast possible, and a special thanks to all those who listened. Please continue to share the episodes and series with anyone who you think will enjoy it.
