The Sound of Being Human

Presented by by:Larm

Jude Rogers is one of Britain’s best known writers and radio presenters in music and popular culture. Her forthcoming book, The Sound of Being Human, explores, in detail, why music plays such a deep-rooted role in so many lives, from before we are born to our last days. At its heart is Jude’s own story: how songs helped her wrestle with the grief of losing her father at age five; build her own sense of self as a lonely teenager; sky-rocket her relationships, both real and imagined, in the flushes of early womanhood; propel her own journey into working life, adulthood and parenthood; and look to the future.

In conversation with Rob Young, Jude will share her unique and inclusive vision of the importance of music in our everyday lives, as well as sharing war stories from the frontline of modern music journalism.
