Contrast Podcast

Hello E-Friends!

I was on the Contrast Podcast this week! For those of you unfamiliar with it, it’s this awesome podcast founded by an awesome gentleman named Tim Young who recently just moved to France, and said of his recent move, “I’ve had wine with every meal so far!”

Basically, it involves a theme each week, and various bloggers and fans submit songs that best fit the theme. Say the theme is “songs about loving more than humanly possible,” I might cleverly suggest “8 Days a Week” by the Beatles :)

A few times a year, Tim opens the podcast up to musicians, including yours truly… We get to introduce ourselves + then put on a song… It’s an awesome way to discover new music, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it for the 2nd time!
