The Unexamined Hype Podcast
131 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 16 ratingsThe Unexamined Hype is a passion project between two friends who have a love for all things music. We would never claim to be experts on the subject, but we do find value in taking time to unpack what we like and don't like about what we are hearing. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." We feel that this is also true of music- that examining the music you are listening to is essential to the listening experience.
