  • A great casual podcast to listen to if you want to relate to other citizens and discover different views on a city - maybe you share a city with them, in that case be ready to hear a totally different view on it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#170 Movement on the dance floor and in between - with Jonathan Coppard | Lindy Hop, Balboa, Salsa, West Coast Swing | Herräng Dance Camp
Q: Very basic one, but also very broad one. Why do you dance?
I dance because I found that flow state where movement through space and connection with a partner feels open, creative, and rewarding, especially when I stop overthinking and let the music lead.
#169 Serving something bigger than yourself - with Alexander Brott | Jazz guitarist
Q: What is it that you specifically bring to the dance floor?
A focus on swing and groove, reading the room, and balancing creativity with the dancers' needs so the performance feels like a shared, uplifting experience rather than a solo showcase.
#169 Serving something bigger than yourself - with Alexander Brott | Jazz guitarist
Q: Why do you play music?
The motivation is evolving and deeply personal: curiosity, discovery, and a sense that music speaks to the soul, which grows into a lifelong commitment including collaboration with others and a career in music.
#168 Giving up agency in exchange for pleasure - with David Kaminsky | Tango, Blues, Lindy Hop, Swedish folk, Balboa | Herräng Dance Camp, Recess
Q: How has dance and music changed your life?
Dance and music have given me physical confidence and a sense of belonging; they also intersect with athletic and non-athletic forms, shaping my life through both practice and scholarly pursuit.
#166 Twenty two Herräng summers of friendship and fresh T-shirts - with Sean Bischofberger | Herräng Dance Camp, IsThereHop
Q: What fascinates you about dancing?
Sean suggests his fascination lies in the joy, connection, and social aspects of dancing—asking what keeps people engaged and why they continue.
