The Best of Sound Up! with Mark Goodman and Alan Light - Glenn Hansard / Marketa Irglova

As we look back at some of our favorite episodes from the Sound Up! archive during the month of August, we honor the recent passing of beloved singer-songwriter Glen Hansard with a replay of a show from June 2025, when Oscar-winning duo The Swell Season - Hansard and Marketa Irglova—joined Mark and Alan to discuss "Forward," their first album together in 16 years. This episode also featured Alan's review of Paul Simon at the Beacon Theatre and a listener recap of the Kendrick Lamar/SZA tour.
