The Sum of All Wisdom

Music is more than entertainment. It is one of humanity's oldest ways of understanding the world.

Hosted by Dr. Scott Catey, The Sum of All Wisdom is dedicated to the simple idea that music IS the sum of all wisdom. Memory, identity, community, creativity, empathy, understanding… Music brings all of these together, and the mission of this channel is to explore music, makers, and meaning through conversations with the artists whose work shapes our lives. It’s a forensic invitation to listen: to the craft, discipline, discoveries, challenges, and hard-earned wisdom that shape creative lives. 

Whether we're talking with a songwriter, a symphony musician, a producer, a folklorist, or an experimental artist, the goal remains the same: to better understand ourselves by listening closely to the people who create the soundtrack of our lives, the music they make, and the worlds they shape.

Because music is not just something we hear.

It's one of our most ancient ways of knowing.
