  • Peace of Mind — First Ever Album to Be Released As a Podcast ​ ​
    PEACE OF MIND — FIRST EVER ALBUM TO BE RELEASED AS A PODCAST ​ ​ Song Exploder meets Pod Save America in this innovative new release from musician Bhi Bhiman. ​ ​ ​ ​ Guests include Dave Eggers, religious scholar Reza Aslan, attorney Rabia Chaudry (Serial & Undisclosed), ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Snap Judgement’s Glynn Washington, attorney Dale Ho (Director, ACLU Voting Rights Project), musician Gaby ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Moreno, filmmaker and co-founder of the Women’s March Paola Mendoza and many more. ​ ​ ​ Peace of Mind is a soundtrack to this crazy time in America. Each of the eight songs has a different theme —​ like ​ immigration, voter suppression, mental health, etc. And Bhi didn’t want to just release them into the album-cycle ether. So, he and the team at Critical Frequency have packaged these songs, one per episode, into what plays like a half-hour radio show w/ conversations, storytelling and cool sound design (comprised entirely of the stems for that song). At the end, Bhi shares the full song and the story behind it. Podcast trailer, album tracks, etc: peaceofmindpod.com/media ​ *New episodes drop every Friday beginning Jan 25th on all podcast platforms and Bhi’s website. *The individual songs will simultaneously be available for streaming and download on all DSPs. About Bhi Bhiman Bhi Bhiman is an American recording artist and producer. Bhi’s had critical acclaim, toured w/ some of his musical heroes and collaborated w/ creative powerhouses like Boots Riley, Chris Cornell, Rhiannon ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Giddens, and comedic actor Keegan-Michael Key. And yet, he’s never been approached by a label. So to cut ​ ​ ​ through the noise, Bhi has thoughtfully reimagined the modern album as a society & culture podcast.
