Many musicheads know the meme, “how do you know so-and-so? Oh, we all went to music together.” That’s the spirit from which Music Person arises. Esteemed Los Angeles-based music writer, producer, documentarian and podcaster Dylan Tupper Rupert has announced Music Person, a new music interview show launching June 18 on the Talkhouse Podcast Network. Likened to the “Fresh Air of indie rock,” listeners will come away from Dylan’s longform conversations feeling more connected to each guest and herself by creating a place of discovery and a respite from the algorithm for curious listeners. Most interviews will be conducted in-person in LA, but from time to time she will go on some adventures and do scene reports a la her popular SXSW scene report that soft launched this iteration of the show.
Music Person podcast strikes the casual, curious & critical middle ground between NPR and college radio. In a podcast landscape full of chatter, Dylan digs deep with guests to get to the heart of nurturing creativity and vision. “This is a really exciting time – there is a gorgeous wind beneath the wings of rock music right now and I’m not taking that for granted! At the same time, it’s a uniquely complex and challenging moment to be a person trying to live the music life. I think about how David Lynch talked about the art life and how much more rich, encompassing, and true that framing is around what it is that we do. It’s not just the album, the film, the work; it’s the whole life around it. That’s the lens I’m taking to my interviews.” She continues, “When Ian Wheeler approached me asking if I’d like to work with Talkhouse, it just seemed so obvious: a unique media company that platforms independent artists is the ideal home for an ongoing project like this.”
“A few months ago after listening to Dylan on a couple of different podcasts, I called her up to see if she had anything she really wanted to make,” says Talkhouse president Ian Wheeler. “She unsurprisingly had a million ideas. Dylan’s voice and perspective feels perfect for this moment in music and we’re ecstatic to have her join Talkhouse Network.”
Music Person podcast is a safe harbor for those who miss music blogs, a welcoming hang for reliably interesting people, a window into Dylan Tupper Rupert’s world as a music person… a podcast about music and the people who live it.
