Love is the Message: Music, Dance, and Counterculture

Love Is the Message is a podcast about music, the dance floor, and counterculture. Beginning their journey in 1970s New York City, co-hosts Jeremy Gilbert and Tim Lawrence explore key developments in music and the social conditions in which they emerged. Attuned to both the politics of freedom and the power structures shaping culture, the show has grown to cover a wide range of musical and social phenomena across time and space. Currently in its seventh series, Love Is the Message can be followed on major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
