In Part 2 of my conversation with Dante Terese, we're talking animal cloning, digital surveillance, spy novels, music, and the unexpected ways technology influences our lives.

Would you clone a beloved pet? Is your phone listening to your conversations, or are social media algorithms simply getting better at predicting what you want? We explore these questions before stepping into Dante's creative world, including her The Base spy-novel series and her song “Is Someone Loving You,” a unique blend described as pop rock with a side order of country.

We also discuss the music video filmed at Copper Mane Show Horses, a horse sanctuary dedicated to helping horses in need. Then we wrap things up with Quickfire Questions covering spies, books, movies, and more.

Follow Dante Terese through her website for updates on her books, music, and videos, and check out Copper Mane Show Horses to learn more about the sanctuary.

Dante is the author of The Base series, a military and spy epic set in 1976, a time before smartphones, GPS, and personal devices made it easy to track someone’s every move. Her stories explore a world of espionage and intrigue, where staying hidden meant relying on skill, strategy, and good old-fashioned secrecy.

Dante’s goal is to eventually see The Base brought to life on the big screen or picked up as a streaming series.

But writing isn’t her only creative pursuit. Dante also writes, sings, and produces her own music, including the song “Is Someone Loving You.”

We also talk about the horse farm featured in the music video. The farm is actually a horse rescue, and Dante wanted to use this episode as an opportunity to help shine a light on their work.
