Ep 100 – Hymns and Parodies!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">EPISODE 100!!! We’re celebrating this achievement with a different style of show. We’re talking all about hymns and music. What does music do to our brains? How can it be used for benevolent or, conversely, malevolent, purposes? Why is music easier to remember than just about any other media we create or consume? We also discuss some history of hymns and folk music in the Mormon culture and tradition as markers for significant events or used to ensure conformity or battle public perceptions. We round out the episode with some parodies of hymns we wrote to help break the spell!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Show Links: </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hymn Parodies by Bryce & Shannon:</span> <a href= "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1095C1WDVWjOU0I2LVa7bm0Ob-r9e3EORPqJavZd7gd4/edit?usp=sharing"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1095C1WDVWjOU0I2LVa7bm0Ob-r9e3EORPqJavZd7gd4/edit?usp=sharing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We were on episode #333 of Serious Inquiries Only!:</span> <a href= "https://seriouspod.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://seriouspod.com/</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music, Rhythm, and the Brain:</span> <a href= "https://brainworldmagazine.com/music-rhythm-brain/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://brainworldmagazine.com/music-rhythm-brain/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Power of Music: MInd Control, by Rhythmic Sound:</span> <a href= "https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/the-power-of-music-mind-control-by-rhythmic-sound/"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/the-power-of-music-mind-control-by-rhythmic-sound/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why Does Music Give
