AT’s Live Launch with Lily Sloane

Jazzed to launch my transition from music-to-talk show, and I especially feel the fortune and honor to to have Lily Sloane, host of Radical Advice, on as the first guest. I met Lily last fall while I DJ'd at BFF.fm- tune into their fantastical community radio station as well. Since we've crossed paths, I've learned and become more inspired by her passion to find ways to interweave elements of her professional roles as a Psychotherapist and audio engineer with her creative, intersectional, activist pursuits. On this episode, we talk about how the personal illuminates the political (and vice versa) with an emphasis on how therapy and her study of psychology inform this balance in her artistic and empathetic works.

*PS....I made a rookie mistake and forgot to press the ole play button for the first hour of our live conversation... Hope you caught when it aired, and if you didn't, my apologies. In a nutshell re-enactment that won't do it justice but is better than nothin'-- we delved pretty deeply into the process of podcasting in terms of craft, content, creative audio composition, editing, genre, and several things in between. We especially addressed the subject of gender inequality in the audio world, where only 5% of production in audio/media is produced by women. Lily dropped an invaluable toolkit of storytelling in radio/podcast resources if you're looking to create your own podcast but need some more direction of how to get started...

Major thanks to Lily for sharing her wisdoms, passions, and visions. And hope everyone has a peaceful, celebratory weekend... May the Fourth be with you, happy Cinco de Mayo, and a stellar beginning of Ramadan :D
