Music Podcasts
A podcast that is/isn’t about music. So what does that mean? There are many things in our lives that try to pull is in one direction or another. Yes or no. Right or wrong. Left or right. Stop or go. You get the idea. Sometimes we need to find some balance. Some...perspective. Sometimes we need to hear someone’s story. It’s not always an easy thing to achieve because it may be hard to find common ground with others. The Echospective podcast strives to find that balance, that common ground. One of the things that binds us together is...music. We all have a favorite song. We all have a favorite band. If there’s something we could all sit down and agree on...it’s music. Join Markese and Nathan as they provide a platform for those stories to be told. Where others’ experiences, passions, successes and failures have shaped them into who they are today. The conversations start with music but end with an understanding. If you like stories and the arts with a little humor peppered in...you will love Echospective!
