More than just an interview show, "Required Listening" is an inspirational look at what makes each artist tick, how they got their start, and how they got to where they are today, bringing listeners that much closer to the artist and their journey.
The interview sessions are hosted by Scott Goldman, Executive Director of the GRAMMY Museum at the Clive Davis Theater in Los Angeles in front of a live audience.
"Establishing a podcast is an important step in the continuing evolution of the GRAMMY Museum," says Goldman, "'Required Listening' will bring audiences everywhere inside our Clive Davis Theatre for conversation, insight and inspiration with artists from across the musical spectrum."
