  • Excellent.

    Well paced conversation and thoroughly researched content. Seeger is a key to American culture and a beautiful voice of reason which Adam reinvigorates it for us— reminding the listener of the power of talking about history and where your interests can take you. Bravo!

Conversation with Tom Paxton
Q: What was it like working with Broadside and how did Pete contribute to distributing topical songs?

Conversation with Andrea Von Kampen
Q: What is your view on the role of folk musicians today in political discourse?
