“Great music transcends time... everything. No matter where this came from, happiness is happiness.”

In this episode, actor, comedienne, and podcaster Rachel “La Loca” Strauss-Muñiz talks about sharing Mozart’s First Piano Sonata with her babies, and reflects on how their joy at hearing Mozart reminds her of how so much of the music we listen to is rooted in classical music — and how music connects us all.
