The Berklee College of Music has a wonderful, eclectic music podcast that is worth checking out. The music school, based in Boston, is home to 4,000 students (and two record labels), and alumni run the gamut from Diana Krall to Melissa Etheridge, Quincy Jones to Aimee Mann, Howard Shore to John Mayer.

The monthly “Sounds of Berklee” podcast reflects that eclectic range of musical genres and music-related professions. Some episodes feature noteworthy alumni (like producer Don Was), the musical projects of current faculty members and students, visiting lecturer/performers, and winners of Berklee-sponsored music contests. Podcast episodes are concise (under 10 min), and feature mostly music with very little talking.
