About This Podcast

Blind Duet is a podcast where artists connect, create, and collaborate. In each episode, two artists get two weeks to record two minutes of music. The twist: the musicians have no idea who their partner will be. Co-hosts Benjamin Kahn and Tom Mayer bring a combined thirty years of music and podcasting experience and facilitate important discussions on creativity, the music industry, and connectivity. If you love other podcasts like Song Exploder or just love mashups and remixes, then welcome to Blind Duet.
