Each card has the plain-language story, the audio, and a link straight to the source research. No black boxes.

What this is

YOUGOTTAUNDERSTAND takes dense, peer-reviewed research — the kind most people never open — and rebuilds it as a conversation you'd actually want to hear. The intellectual substance stays intact; only the delivery changes.

A project by Matthias Strobel Hohmann, President of MusicTech Germany and VP of Music Tech Europe. It exists to make hard ideas about music, technology, and society understandable — and to give the researchers behind them a wider room.
