About Our Podcast
Sound Discussion began as an idea in a Nashville bar in March of 2023. We ultimately recorded our first episode in December 2023 and we haven't looked back.
We hope that you find our conversational style informing, entertaining, and as comfortable as friends sitting around a table talking about music and audio.
