The Tonearm

Lawrence Peryer

The Tonearm connects you with the people and ideas moving culture forward. Every episode is one conversation, free of format, going where it needs to go. Hosted by long-time music business executive, journalist and fan, Lawrence Peryer.


The Tonearm is for the listener who wants the work explained by the person who made it, not by someone interpreting it from the outside. If you're interested in inspiration, technique, process, and emotion, The Tonearm's for you.


Over hundreds of episodes since February 2020, the thing we do that's different is clear: We're a team of music listeners, readers, moviegoers, museum visitors, and cultural omnivores who understand art and artists and know what questions lead to meaningful conversations.


New episodes every week. Thanks for listening.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
