Lifetimes of Listening by Dan Kruse and Brian Moon

Episode notes

How come music reminds one of a place? Today’s episode explores stories of people coping with feeling homesick by listening to music. Our guest, Jaimie Matthews, helps train and supervise resident advisors for college dormitories. This role allows her to help young adults transition to being on their own, often for the first time in their lives. Jaimie’s experience helps us understand why and how music can become such a powerful reminder of the places we call home. Musical memories by Emily Jo Schwaller, JT Chen, and Devin Bayly help us explore music and the feeling of homesickness.
