*SPECIAL GUEST EPISODE (Season 1 finale - stay tuned for Season 2 with improved technology starting in a few weeks/months!)*

Several future guests had to reschedule their Many Voices interviews, and my daughter had encouraged me to try being the interviewee rather than the interviewer. So we decided to take advantage of the break between regular guests to record a special interview with my kids Kazushi (9) and Maika (12) interviewing me (Dr Patrick Savage) to share my own musical background and give me a taste of what it's like to be interviewed!
