Jude Rogers

Jude Rogers is a Welsh music journalist, author, and broadcaster who has written for the Guardian, the Observer, the Sunday Times, and many other publications. She is known for her thoughtful, deeply personal approach to writing about music and its role in our lives. The Sound of Being Human explores the profound connection between music and memory, examining why certain songs become the soundtrack to our most important moments. Rogers weaves together neuroscience, psychology, cultural history, and her own deeply moving personal story — including the loss of her father when she was a child — to create a book that is both intellectually fascinating and emotionally powerful. The audiobook and book versions of The Sound of Being Human offer listeners and readers a beautifully written exploration of why music matters so much to us. Rogers' work transcends typical music writing to become something closer to memoir and philosophy, appealing to anyone who has ever been stopped in their tracks by a song.
