As of May 2013, Exploring Music also offers the option to stream any of its past programs on demand on its website. The on-demand archive includes a search function which can search for terms and names throughout all series and episodes, and also includes a feature which can separate the music from an episode from McGlaughlin's commentary and vice versa.
| “ | I don't know any scientific proof that human beings must have music in their lives to flourish, but I've noticed that if we don't, there's an empty spot. With our programs we try each week to take you into a new area, and hope it's just that we'll find that hollow spot in all of us, and nourish it. And it's like having extra rooms in your house — wonderful rooms — and you let the light in, and you find you have new vistas you didn't imagine. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word listening:
“Listening to learn isn’t about giving advice—at least not until asked—but about trying to understand exactly what someone means, how it is that someone looks at and feels about her particular situation.... Listening to learn from a daughter in adolescence, conspiring with her thoughts and feelings, keeps a mother in touch with a daughter’s growing and changing self.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
