Classical music has a reputation of being a bit boring and nerdy, but both of our parents used to like it. I think both of our dads used to like it. I know my dad did, and perhaps that's why... Perhaps I rejected it as a kid because I thought, 'Wow, that's the domain of the adults and the parents,' and I sort of rebelled against it. So revisiting it, or visiting for the first time, has been a joy.
Classical music isn't just for concert halls and fancy dinners; it might just be the key to a healthier mind and body. In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst dive into the surprising benefits of classical music. They chat about how these timeless tunes can boost your physical and mental well-being, offering a fresh perspective on recovery and personal growth.
Martin shares a laugh-out-loud story about an odd charity shop donation, and the duo reminisces about growing up without central heating—talk about character-building! The conversation meanders through topics like canoeing and the joy of discovering new interests during recovery. Graham even throws in a trivia quiz, blending fun with fascinating facts. If you're curious about how classical music can be more than just background noise, this episode is a must-listen.
