Do Women and Men Listen To Music Differently?

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The head of popular music at the BBC caused a stir last week when she said that men relate with music on an intellectual level, whereas women relate on an emotional level. We get to the heart of the debate with a music writer and music researcher. Also: since his emergence a decade ago, singer-songwriter Jim White has been writing songs with a Southern gothic tinge. His latest album, "Transnormal Skiperoo," adds an experimental and storytelling flair. He performs live in the studio. Plus: host John Schaefer reports from North Korea, where the New York Philharmonic is performing tomorrow.
