Esoteric KYE Playlist (For Straussians!)
Added 2019-10-01 09:27:09 +0000 UTCFor the first few episodes of Know Your Enemy, we enjoyed threading thematically appropriate songs into the episodes. Then a friend (wisely) advised us against using copyrighted music on the show. So we stopped. Instead we've used music created by our friends -- especially Will Epstein, the Downtown Boys, and Sons of Bill.
THAT BEING SAID, Matt and I are both big country music fans; it's one of the first things we bonded over. Country songs are often build around thoughtful meditations on the themes of the show: class, conservatism, family, bosses and work, religion, striving, suffering, and nation. So we decided to create the official KYE Playlist, which we update from time to time (at least once a month), with new songs inspired by the show.
If you subscribe at the "Straussian" level ($10 a month) or above, you should have link to the private playlist in your Patreon inbox.
