  • Excellent delivery and insight

    I appreciate Jenny’s soothing voice and experienced insight. Several years ago I filled out a survey from SXM about favorite hosts. I thought I had the name right but inadvertently given another female host’s name as having such a superb way about her. 🙄 Nonetheless ... I am glad to have this podcast available to hear more from her.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Robyn Hitchcock (Interview)
Q: Do you think it's something, you cracked something about how you write songs, or about how the inspiration comes through?
Hitchcock says he learned to shape a more focused melody and now avoids forcing songs. He records ideas when they appear, keeps a list of titles, and trusts that songs will come when he is receptive.
Robyn Hitchcock (Interview)
Q: When in life, as a little kid, do you first remember feeling a creative impulse of some kind?
Hitchcock traces his creative impulse to his father, who drew cartoons and painted. He began drawing around four or five and writing poems and short horror stories around seven or eight.
Bedouine - Interview with Azniv Korkejian
Q: You mentioned wanting to sing more on stage and take less control of guitar parts; what led to that, and how did it change your live performances?
I wanted to capture a freer delivery, so I explored singing more prominently while sometimes stepping away from guitar on stage, which reduced performance pressure and highlighted the emotion in the vocal performance.
Bedouine - Interview with Azniv Korkejian
Q: How did collaboration shape your sound on Neon Summer Skin versus your earlier work?
Working with Gus Seifer as a long-time collaborator and inviting other contributors like Ray Do helped broaden the sonic palette, enabling more space for textures, and allowing me to experiment with recording approaches while retaining the core intimate feel.
Bedouine - Interview with Azniv Korkejian
Q: What sparked your shift from piano to guitar, and how did that influence your early songwriting?
Moving away from piano as a primary instrument pushed me toward guitar, which encouraged a more intimate, fingerpicked style that became foundational for my early demos and the mood of my writing.
