About this episode
Does BPM affect mood? In the wake of Chechnya banning music that’s too fast or too slow, Annie and Nick call in the experts from ‘Switched On Pop’ for help. Elsewhere, two AI popstars guest host the podcast and why peanut butter is perfect lyrical content. Plus, place your bets on whether we’ll ever get new Rihanna. Get in touch with Annie and Nick!
