All Ears

All Ears is a new podcast about the ways music challenges, comforts and connects us. Exploring topics as varied as music and mourning, AFL anthems and the relationship between pub rock and microsurgery, All Ears is a podcast for people who are curious about the human condition and the unique power music brings to all aspects of our lives.

All Ears is produced and presented by Annaliese Redlich, with supervising production from Bethany Atkinson-Quinton and the Broadwave team. Thanks also to the Wheeler Centre's 2019 Signal Boost programme for their support of Annaliese Redlich.

"The narration is so compelling and inviting... [Annaliese] is a charming interviewer - it's so fun to hear people crack up and laugh and open up"

— Avery Trufelman (99% Invisible, Radiotopia)
