Join us for a  live taping of the podcast ‘Critical Listening’ with co-hosts  Liz Pelly (author of Mood Machine) and Max Alper. 

‘Critical Listening’ is a podcast of music, technology and culture criticism from journalist Liz Pelly and composer-educator Max Alper, two lifers of the Northeast underground and independent scholars of streaming era dystopia. On each episode, Liz and Max offer no-punches-pulled takes on the contemporary music and culture industries, featuring deep dives into contemporary music business headlines and longform interviews with fellow writers and musicians.

Here at Purchase they will record their November Headlines episode live and take audience questions.

When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need.
