During this special "Spooky Szn" broadcast, host Evan McCormick takes listeners on a musical-historical road trip featuring songs of haunting. With stops highlighting eerie and macabre tunes from different eras — from folk to punk to alternative — listeners are prompted to think about different ways that dark forces lurk in the music we listen to during the Halloween season. With a playlist featuring lonely scarecrows, punk zombies, lovelorn werewolves, and sad ghosts, it's an episode...to die for! Music does not just exist. It exists in specific times and places and in the sonic world of each individual listener who engages with it. That’s the basic idea behind "Music in Time," which explores the social and political context in which songs and albums emerge, are listened to, and reflected on over the years. Each broadcast will focus on a single album, detailing the social and political circumstances surrounding its release and moments in time that made certain music resonate anew. How is music shaped by these historical moments, and, in turn, how does it shape the histories that we remember?
