Today's episode of the podcast is a Faculty Spotlight which was recorded in front of a live audience. We're joined by professor Ryan Purcell, an expert on the 1970s New York rock scene. Host Tim Kail and Ryan discuss what soundscapes are, the origins of "Punk", how environmental conditions shape art, the aesthetics of "Punk", and more.
