Is nepotism a key part of a good nineties pop anthem? This week we reach for Wilson Phillips’ inspirational 1990 hit “Hold On.” Nichole explains how some songs you love give you different doses of dopamine, at different times and different regions of... more
Oh, no, another episode of Mark’s music? Sadly, yes! In this episode, Nichole listens to the eight new NTM mini-themes, and pitches which corporate sponsors each music bumper would best lead into. Is this a tongue-in-cheek bit or is Mark still trying... more

Zero stars. This guy is insuferable.
Love this pod-I am learning so much about music and why we love it! Listened to the feedback episode I thought what band mate Mark S. was saying… how about a reunion short album entitled “Things Left Unsaid…” I would buy!
I love this show, my millennial heart beats to every nostalgic song! I love learning about music theory and enjoy how they weave neuroscience in!
Why did I wait so long to crack into this? This is fantastic - and fun - cool and nerdy on all levels. Such brilliant content! Now my main podcast.
I like this different approach to music podcasts, highly engaging and accessible. I enjoy the science or music theory aspects. Something for all musicians and music fans.

This show blends music theory, psychology, and pop culture to unpack iconic songs. Through accessible musical analysis and discussions of neuroscience and behavior, it often ties tracks to broader themes like storytelling, identity, and social influence. Sidetracks frequently explore behind-the-scenes production, audience communities, and personal anecdotes, making complex ideas feel approachable. Noteworthy is the strong dual-host dynamic—one with a music focus and one with a psychology lens—coupled with guests who bring historical and cultural context to bear on beloved songs. Listeners can expect thoughtful, nerdy-but-friendly conversations that illuminate why songs work on both a technical and emotional level.
