Books, Ballads, and B-Roll

Music EN ↓ 9 episodes

Books, Ballads, and B-Roll is a student-run podcast that examines similarities between different media to uncover interesting connections. Each episode features a book/song/movie trio that all have something in common, whether in theme, aesthetic, philosophy, references, or some other quality. As we delve into the similarity and why we feel it's important, we hope to introduce listeners to new works of literature, music, and film—or new perspectives about ones they already know—and in the process spark curiosity and a fascinating conversation.
