Thank you to Hanif, the producers, and the guests who create and guide our participation in conversations around music and so much more.

He is the best.

This show is full of generous peace and love in a traumatic world. I’m not at all current with music so truly appreciate being introduced to so many deeply talented artists. Many thanks to Hanif.

for introducing me to incredible new music and for expanding my ability to listen.

A beauitful love letter to music, culture, and how it shapes our lives.

Well a little early for that here in Chicago and yet you sound fresh and what my soul needed this AM. Merci

It’s a treat to listen to a good listener. Good research good writing. And most importantly good audio production.

and so does the host

Hi Was wondering where those episodes went ? I wanted to re-listen Thanks Marcia

Hanif’s podcast gives us new angles and thoughts on music, culture, and life. It’s picked me upon at the end of a long teaching day during a pandemic and has pushed me to listen and love anew.

I’m so happy this exits! Excellent and interesting conversations! Yay. Well done!

Wowowow. So happy this exists! Thrilled to be able to listen to the voice behind such beautiful writing, and hear from so many favorite and new artists. Thoughtful, inclusive, and Incredibly necessary if you are a creator, a listener, a learner, a teacher.

Love Hanif’s thoughtful reflections, engaged interviews and the songs spliced in. Perfect length for a breakfast or lunch break and a wonderful sense of discovery in each ep.

I almost envy those who are new to Hanif Abdurraquib’s essays, because this podcast’s combination of insights and interviews is just spectacular. His essays, poems, playlists, and discoveries are deep and thoughtful, playful and cathartic. Listen and then go read everything he’s ever written.

Beautiful and transportive. Got me listenin to music in my headphones again. Hanif is such a fan and you can hear it in these thoughtful, lovely interviews. Enjoy diving into music this way.

This is an amazing podcast for this time! Hanif explores so much music with emotional, thoughtful, vulnerability and curiosity. He inspires deeper listening and creative approaches to connecting to music and each other.

Fascinating new perspectives of familiar and unfamiliar music. Hanif is a smart, curious host and the guests are extraordinarily interesting. I love the playlist feature — after a fantastic discussion of Afrofuturist music, I can listen to a curated collection that goes on for hours! Brilliant!

Really digging this podcast. Hanif has such a great storytelling style (and voice). Love the guests, the new music I’m discovering and all the recommendations I get to make to friends (and pass off as my own ;-)

Object of Sound is perfect for walking and *really* listening to. Hanif brings a different perspective to every topic and interview. Even if I don’t know all the musicians referenced, I enjoy the way the music is discussed and shared. For a music podcast, this show has a lot of emotion and beauty.

Well done, poetic and insightful. I’m learning about new music and thinking differently about the art and people behind the scenes.

Found it so meditative and lovely to listen to this podcast this evening, reflect and learn. So much new to me music I’m now hungry to listen to too.

Brought back up some wonderful things I was familiar with and others that I didn’t yet know about. Moses Sumney is new to me recently, and I was so excited to hear him as part of this.

Whether it is his poetry, his essays, or now his podcasts, Hanif puts so much care into his work. What a privilege to sit in on these tender conversations with some incredible artists. Hanif is a great story teller who can really get to the root of why music makes you feel, and his episodes so far challenge you to engage with music for an even deeper experience. Excited to hear what else this series will bring

The interviews are rich with stories behind songs that make me love music even more. And I love the playlists that accompany each episode. Thank you Hanif and Sonos.
