Pod Talks
We all know how powerful the impact of music and the arts can be on us personally, but what are the views of the movers and shakers in our society? They promote their latest artistic ventures through the media, but what do they privately think is actually going on? I was fascinated to find out and thought you would be too.

"The first talk is with Sir John Tusa...Cohen and Tusa’s subjects wander widely, though smoothly, through the issues facing the arts, and primarily music, at the moment. Cohen is a good conversationalist, engages interestingly with Tusa and brings a performer’s perspective to the topic... The conversation works very well because both men are sensitive not only to the emotional experience of listening to music, but also to the social business of experiencing music as part of an audience."
