all ears is a podcast exploring the power of music

Your favourite tunes can get you through a lot. Whether you're sobbing into your pillow or dancing with joy, a rad soundtrack makes all the difference. But have you ever wondered what music does for other people? Melbourne based broadcaster Annaliese Redlich became curious about the weird and wonderful roles music can play in our everyday lives – so she grabbed her recorder and documented the findings in a podcast called All Ears.

Each episode takes you to an unexpected place: from the operating theatre, where surgeons perform delicate procedures to the sounds of pub-rock, to the grape vines in the Yarra Valley where Annaliese uncovers the connection between terroir and timbre. Across eight episodes, you'll hear from local legends including Kutcha Edwards and Jen Cloher and delve into some peculiar musical stories. Intrigued? Head here to start listening.
