No Class

Do you have a favorite song from your childhood that always brings back distinct memories? Do you ever wonder why your ears tune out "mumble rap" but you're all fired up for a Jay-Z verse? This episode goes out to all of our #oldschool versus #newschool music heads. On the season finale of No Class Podcast, Anthony Jay and Chantel are joined by Ethnomusicologist Dr. Fredera Hadley in a discussion about how music appeals to each of us at different stages of our lives and why we may hold onto different songs or genres throughout our lifetime. As we wrap up 2020 and look onward to 2021, we reflect on how music has helped us during this tumultuous year and begin to think about what we look forward to hearing in the new year.

Classmates, we've seen the dynamics of sibling relationships played out on tv and other media but more recently, Da Brat and LisaRaye had a cringe-worthy public spat that made most of us reminisce on our own sibling connections. With this year's inactive holiday season, there's no time like the present to reflect on the shared bonds or disconnect you may feel in your relationships with your siblings. In this episode Anthony Jay and Chantel discuss the characteristics of sibling birth order and how family relationships are nurtured within these age and order boundaries.
