With this podcast I can find unusual music in small doses with LOTS of analysis and insight into the creative experience. That is how I like it. I don't want to listen to music "mindlessly." I am really overjoyed.

These interviews are an artist's dream... Having a vast amount of musical listening, performing, and writing knowledge Mark knows just the right questions to ask. The artists feel at home and are often genuinely delighted to be asked intelligent and insightful questions about their work... Mark finds artists with wonderful minds that are dedicated to their craft and brings to light music that is both mind expanding and deserving to be heard.
