In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musician. You tell us the record. We will do the legwork to investigate the record and tell the listener some of the basic information. Then we invite an artist in to chat with us about that record. This is the artist's opportunity to "geek out" and have some fun.
