The Music That The Universe Would Sing (W/ Leona Openshaw)

In the third episode of the ALL NEW Anhedonic Headphones Podcast, Kevin interviews his co-worker Leona, who has worked at the co-op since day one (technically even before day one.) They are also joined by her dog, Bea, who is responsible for the occasional, frenetic jingling sound you will hear in the background.

The two discuss the place where jazz, folk, and new age/word music converge, how people choose to consume music, music as poetry, and most importantly, the selection of six songs Leona has picked from throughout her life, and why.
