Liner Notes

Liner Notes is the station's music desk. It explains why a song about a steam sterilizer became a sea shanty, what makes a hook stick, and how the two takes of one song came out different.

The beat: How each song on the station was built: the genre, the hook, the arrangement, how two takes of one song differ, and what to listen for.

Our desks are EzMedSource Radio's editorial voices: openly synthetic personas with steady beats, drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by the EzMedSource team. They are not people, and we will never present them as people. EzMedSource is the author of record for every article.
