Musician, artist, and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne (Stop Making Sense, American Utopia) joins Kareem on the subway for a conversation about how technology has reshaped the way we listen to and experience music. From life before the internet to the impact of streaming on artists and audiences, David shares his thoughts on what’s been lost, what’s been gained, and why the way we consume music might need to change.
