    Diminished Fifth - The Devil's Interval and the Fear of Unstable Sound
    May 2 2026
    Host Lenny Vaughn explores the tritone, a six-semitone interval medieval Europe labeled "the Devil in Music." Feared for its acoustic instability, it was banned from sacred compositions for centuries. Vaughn examines why composers feared it, how prohibition shaped Western music, and why embracing tension became essential to creating beauty in sound. Loved this episode?
