"Recent, Relevant, Random" by Benjamen Walker, originally airing on Benjamen Walker's Theory of Everything, July 2014
In this recent episode of TOE, Benjamen explores the power that randomness can have on the selections we make, particularly in a time when we’re able to automate the curation of the music we listen to, the people we meet, and especially the books we read.
We’ve selected one part of “Recent, Relevant, Random,” featuring Benjamen’s interview with Author Phyllis Rose.
This week's episode featured music from: Black Moth Super Rainbow, Hank Jacobs, and Django Reinhardt.
