WORDS + MUSIC (+ CHATTER)

Gunpowder & Sky's Words + Music podcast series (via Audible) appears to be affecting the larger conversation surrounding Grammy, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and other honors.

The in-depth episodes, dedicated to a diverse group of creators, blend candid conversation and intimate musical performances, deepening listeners' understanding of the artists' careers and relevance.

Among the subjects: Smokey Robinson, Sheryl Crow, Eddie Vedder, St. Vincent, Alanis Morissette and Gary Clark Jr.

The podcast is clearly on the minds of biz insiders who vote for awards and inductions; it's believed to have played a role in strengthening the campaigns of several artists for nominations, wins and other laurels.

We asked Gunpowder & Sky's Van Toffler to comment, but he just pointed at the AirPods in his ears and flipped us off.
