Caesura is a podcast made by and dedicated to people for whom listening and making music are not just hobbies, but ways of life, regardless of genre. Come listen as we review new music, talk about current music trends and albums we love, make bad jokes, get super off-track, and generally explore the nearly infinite world that modern music has to offer.

We change things up this week, and bring you not a discussion of music (per se) nor a musical topic, but, rather (selfishly, perhaps), a topic we're very familiar with: ourselves.
