Listen Carefully with Nathan Jolly

Listen Carefully

Listen Carefully is a love letter to music. Each week, Australian music journalist Nathan Jolly talks to a different artist about their lives in and around music. Unlike other (unnamed) podcasts that take delight in mining uncomfortably personal topics, or just promote new music while calling it "fresh content", Listen Carefully gets into the weeds.
