  • Good shows, annoying setup

    Great shows, but I wish each show was published as a separate podcast so I can get the shows I want without having to get the rest with it.

  • Good Stuff!

    Both of these shows are really good with lots of music. Conducting Conversations has interviews with many different artists & groups and plays the music from their current project. My Music is pure classical and is pieces by artists you may have never heard of but are glad you finally do when once you get a listen. If you live in New England these peograms will mean a little more since they are Rhode Island based but they are deffinately worth a listen for anyone!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

05-09-26 New York Times Bestseller Belle Burden-Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage - Ocean House Author Series
Q: Are you continuing to write after the book's success, and is there another book in the works?
She confirms she started a fiction project, has no desire to write another memoir, and hopes to carve out time for a future writing project.
05-09-26 New York Times Bestseller Belle Burden-Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage - Ocean House Author Series
Q: Hi, Belle. can you talk a little about how you had to get your husband's permission for the original article and what he thinks now of the movie?
Belle explains the Times required her to obtain a reaction from her ex, discusses the back-and-forth, and notes how the ex's final stance evolved to a supportive rather than adversarial one over time.
04-11-26 New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Marie Benedict-Daughter of Egypt - Ocean House Author Series
Q: How did you approach writing two very different voices for this dual narrative?
I wrote Hatshepsut first because her voice was the harder one to capture; Evelyn's voice came more easily due to my familiarity with interwar England, but I ultimately wrote them separately to preserve each character's distinct headspace before weaving their stories together.
03-01-26 The Music of Disney - Conducting Conversations
Q: What was your favorite Disney movie?
Ratatouille is my favorite Disney movie.
03-01-26 The Music of Disney - Conducting Conversations
Q: What do you remember about Disney music?
My memories of Disney music are very different than yours because I can remember vividly the night that I went to my father's boss's house and watched the initial night of a Wonderful World of Disney.
