Musicology: the dark side of art and academia

With Débora Ñancupil, musicologist. The episode that started it all: music, art and academia unfiltered, with a musicologist telling you what nobody says in the corridors.

The first episode at this table, recorded without really knowing what would come out. What came out was a conversation about musicology, life inside academia and why the art world is harder than it looks from outside.
