Sound Without Borders: Building Connection Through Music and Culture with Josh Rogosin

Josh Rogosin breaks down the magic behind music that moves people around the world.

What does it take to truly hear creativity across cultures, genres, and geography? In this episode, Izolda sits down with Josh Rogosin, the sound mind behind over 800 NPR Tiny Desk Concerts and founder of Global Sound Concerts. You’ll hear how music becomes a bridge between people, how deep listening changes everything, and why imperfections often carry more truth than polish. If you’re a creator, storyteller, or someone who wants to connect more deeply, with your audience or your own voice, this episode offers insight and inspiration in equal measure. Josh shares what makes a performance memorable, how sound captures emotion, and how to create work that resonates. Tune in for tools that can reshape how you listen, create, and communicate in your own life and work.
