About this listen

Lenny Vaughn explores how music survives empires that try to control it, from the Han Dynasty's 829-musician propaganda bureau to Irish songs crossing the Atlantic despite British suppression. Through the Silk Road, the slave trade, and the printing press, he reveals how human transmission's beautiful imperfections make melodies unstoppable—and why today's instant access might skip the transformation that matters most.
