Anyone know of a podcast series to learn about classical music? (mander.xyz)

I'd like to learn about the major periods and themes and the contexts in which they were written and performed.

Has anyone got a suggestion? Thank you

I just started listening to “the story of classical” on Apple Music. You might have to have a subscription to Apple Music to get it though. It’s an approachable introduction to the styles and history of classical music.

Ha, we had the same idea at about the same time‽

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look it up

Yeah exactly, I’m digging it so far. Gotta make it through baroque…

Leonard Bernstein himself has a number of lectures available as albums on Spotify.
