Life—Noted is a celebration of music in the form of a podcast. We talk to ordinary people about their musical lives because we believe each guest has a rich and interesting story (music memoir) that reflects something uniquely individual, but ultimately universal, about music and the way it frames our lives. Using seven questions as a starting point, we peek into the musical souls of each guest by providing a space to share their music stories and memories.
Because music is a basis for community and a sense of belonging and each of us has our own music memories, we hope bringing attention to the memories of our guests will move listeners to reflect on their own music stories and connect with others across musical space and time.
The hosts provide a brief update on the podcast's second season, highlighting their work to share everyday people's music stories.

It's the Intro
Welcome to Life–Noted, a music podcast with an interview format. Here's how it works, in every episode we will interview an ordinary person about their musical DNA, if you will. While we’ll be asking these individuals about highly specific and personal musical memories, we hope bringing attention to the memories of our guests will move listeners to reflect on their own music stories and connect with others across musical space and time.
