What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About Music
A podcast that dives deep into discographies - one artist per season. Hosts Adam, Steve, and Lucas go album by album, track by track, exploring how context shapes our experience of music, why fans become obsessed, and what music really is. With three hosts coming from wildly different levels of musical knowledge, expect sharp analysis, wild tangents, hot takes, and more information about the artists (and the hosts) than you ever asked for. Currently exploring the discography of Arctic Monkeys. Previous seasons featured Manic Street Preachers, Muse, Billie Eilish, Radiohead, Lauryn Hill, and R.E.M.

The Ultimate Playlist: Sports (Pt. 1)
The Big Mates present one of their Patreon shows, on the main feed for the first time... The Ultimate Playlist.
Join us as we explore a broader range of music from many genres and numerous artists, with each month focusing on 8 songs centred around a different theme. Each host picks 2 songs, and 2 songs come from our subscribers!
The theme is picked randomly from a pool of subscriber suggestions, but for these episodes (Part 2 out next week!) we dive into the world of Sports and explore songs by New Order, American Football, Ethel Cain, and Fleetwood Mac!
To hear more episodes of this show, head to patreon.com/whatismusicpod and subscribe to the Biggest Mates tier! Episodes are released on the second and third Thursdays of every month!
The tier also comes with access to ad-free episodes of the main feed, a show in which we revisit the discography of Manic Street Preachers, bonus episodes every month, and a very fun Discord community!
