When do I need to clap?

December 12, 2024 · 33 min

Show notes

Round of applause, please! YolanDa, Hugh and Simon evaluate the pros and cons of applause, sharing their experiences both in the concert hall and beyond. Why do we clap, when should we clap, and what’s the etiquette? Together they cover pieces where people clap when they shouldn’t, pieces where it simply feels wrong to show your appreciation by clapping, and rock and jazz concerts where it’s common to clap every few minutes. But this episode isn’t just about putting your hands together - they also discuss whether fish should be allowed in concert halls and the simplistic beauty of painting a shed. Plus, there’s fierce competition to work out who has the best-sounding clap in the end-of-episode quiz…
