Let's Talk Off The Podium

The mission of this podcast is to create discussion on a variety of topics in music, culture, and arts. In my discussions there will be many questions, answers, comments, critique and ideas. For far too long many in the media, musicians, and artists from all backgrounds have been hesitant in their approach to criticism. As Wole Soyinka said, “The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.” Alongside my observations I will invite guests from a variety of artistic backgrounds to tell their story, ideas and perspective on all things in the world of music.

Hope you join me on this journey and raise awareness to topics that have been buried for decades.

Past guests include: Kronos Quartet founder David Harrington, Christian McBrideGeorge WalkerRobert Dick, Ian PaceMartin Bresnick, Project Trio bassist Peter Seymour, Andrey KasparovCraig Sheppard,  Adrienne AlbertJuan Maria SolareMarc YeatsMark Rowan-HullStanford ThompsonThe Villiers QuartetDr. Haig MardirosianFrances WilsonJames GardnerDaniel RosenboomSylvia HinzJoan Arnau Pàmies,  among others.
