Talks with a personal dimension. Simon Zagorski-Thomas thinks we fail to treat the study of popular music with the seriousness it deserves.
Simon Zagorski-Thomas thinks we fail to treat the study of popular music with the seriousness it deserves because we overvalue classical music studies.

Producer: Sheila Cook.
