It’s Your World, Campaign, The New York Times 

A weekly music review show with New York Times pop music critic Jon Caramanica.



Jon and I have been friends for years, and we’ve always wanted to collaborate on something. I made a video with him driving around Brooklyn for @mynytimes, which sparked the idea of starting a new show.



Each week, Jon and I drive around NYC, and I film him waxing poetic about the new song that everyone is talking about. It could be a good song, a bad song, a viral song, an underground song. The format allows us to not only talk about new music, but also what these songs say about the current state of pop music.
