Impressions Podcast
Do synthesizer runs taste like oranges? Sometimes. In Impressions, hosts and longtime friends Bizzy Hemphill and Nick Forrest take a deep dive into the sights, sounds, associations, histories, and even smells a song evokes. Each episode, you’re invited on a journey through a different theme, and your transportation mode is MUSIC. If you’re looking for music recommendations from some friends who don’t take themselves too seriously, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome!
