The Bass Shed Podcast

Ryan sits down with Dr. Sean Young, an emergency medicine physician, psychologist, and lifelong bassist, to explore how music shapes perception, emotion, and human behavior.

They talk about jazz and reggae’s effect on pain, why improvisation creates narrative and immersion, how personal history shapes listening, and where creativity resists technology and AI. A thoughtful conversation on music as both science and deeply human experience.
