The Earworm Podcast
Earworm is the podcast that gets stuck in your head for all the right reasons.
Hosted by Bryan Clark — artist, producer, engineer, music doctorate, and sonic architect to artists around the world — and Patrick Cloud, a New Orleans native whose career spans global music industry sales, directing sales for festival and event video production, podcast direction and production, and ownership of a creative management company, Earworm is where music industry knowledge meets genuine passion for the craft.
Every episode, Bryan and Patrick dig into the trends shaping the modern music industry, celebrate the albums that matter, geek out over gear and guitars, and sit down with the producers, engineers, and artists who are actually doing the work. Bryan brings the academic chops and worldwide studio perspective. Patrick brings the New Orleans soul, the industry hustle, and the kind of energy that only comes from a city that treats music like oxygen.
Whether you're a working musician trying to find your sound, a music lover who wants to understand what goes on behind the glass, or just someone who wants two guys who actually know what they're talking about to make you laugh and teach you something — Earworm is your show.
Informative. Irreverent. Occasionally ridiculous. Always music.
