My guest on this episode, Gina Morgano, is a radical romantic who believes in using her voice as an instrument of peace.

| Gail Boenning & Manu Satsangi — The Gift of Shared Kindness | 02 déc. 2020 | 00:46:31 | |
Growing up, neither Gail or Manu would have identified as an artist or creative, but over time, both of them began to listen to the quiet voice inside them that realised they had ideas and gifts worth sharing. After getting to know each other during an online creative workshop earlier this year, they began looking for projects they could collaborate on. One such project is The Gift of Shared Kindness, a product inspired by a creative Christmas gift Gail made for her father a few years ago. It’s a gift you can give to someone who doesn’t need more stuff in their life. Instead this is a gift that is designed to be re-gifted in a way that Gail and Manu will explain - the beauty here being that the more you give it away, the more valuable it becomes. As a special bonus, this is the first episode of Studio Time that comes with a free recipe! You’ll find instructions on how to make Gail’s exceedingly satisfying snack mix in the show notes below. ____ The Gift of Shared Kindness: ___ Sweet & Fruity Snack Mix 10 oz Sunflower Seeds 10 oz Pumpkin Seeds 8 oz Almonds, sliced 10 oz C Dried Montmorency Cherries 10 oz C Dried Wild Blueberries 1/3 C Maple Syrup 1 tsp Vanilla 1 tsp Cinnamon

Bec has been working as a professional communicator for 20 years. She established her PR credentials at Universal Music Australia, before founding the PR, corporate communications and crisis management agency The Comms Department, where she and her team work with some of Australia’s biggest and best-known media, entertainment, travel and lifestyle brands. Before training to become a PR professional, Bec had a successful career as a vocalist and vocal coach, and even before that, she was a great friend to my family and me. Our careers took us off in different directions and we haven’t been in touch for a few years, this conversation is the first we’d shared in ages. I’m thrilled to see how Bec's career has flourished and I’m grateful for the knowledge and insight she shares from her own experience working with artists and brands known across Australia and throughout the world. ___ ___

| Angelica Richie — Every Voice is Worthy of Being Heard | 20 oct. 2020 | 01:00:37 | |
Shining Light has been working with correctional facilities for over 20 years, creating opportunities for artistic expression in prisons across the US and giving incarcerated men and women new ways to find their voices and have them heard. Angelica and her colleagues usually do in person workshops with inmates, helping them create presentations that they then showcase to peers in their facility. The COVID 19 pandemic forced prisons to limit access to visitors and the regular workshops had to be cancelled, but Shining Light devised a way to continue to serve their artists and alumni on the inside and create a piece that they are able to share with the public for the first time. Creations of a Caged Bird is the hour long presentation featuring work written and devised by inmates that has been performed and produced by artists like Angelica. It’s available on youtube and I’ve shared the link in the show notes. Creations of a Caged Bird is powerful and very moving and I wanted to learn more about it. ___ Find and follow Angelica online: ___ Links and show notes from this episode: Shining Light

| Jay Clouse — Commitment, Creatives and Community | 15 oct. 2020 | 01:01:47 | |
Jay created Unreal Collective which is a community of creators and he built Freelancing School to help you become your own boss. In his podcast Creative Elements, Jay talks to high-profile creators about the nitty gritty of building their creative careers. In this conversation, Jay talks about the years he spent not believing he was creative and we talk about how he’s grown his business over the past four years—including when and how he thinks about outsourcing tasks, so he can focus on what he does best. Jay shares his thoughts on building habits versus making commitments, getting intentional about what he wanted to achieve when he began the Creative Elements podcast, and reflects on how all the high profile guests he features on the show spent years in the trenches before they began to recognise the level of success they’re known for now. Jay has a lot to share about building community, having built his own online community and advising other brands and businesses on how they establish successful communities of their own. You can find Jay on twitter and instagram @jayclouse. If you enjoy this episode I’d love for you to reach out to Jay and tell him so.

Napoleon earned a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Drake University and a M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship from Southern New Hampshire University. In this wide ranging conversation, we talk about the teacher that fostered Napoleon’s talent early on, and how he was able to return the favour a few years later to help her set up City Voices, a non-profit that provides arts education at no charge to many more young people in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. Napoleon describes how the contracts he booked straight out of school offered him stage experience and also showed him the rest of the regional theatre business - from the box office to the kitchen. He talks about why he decided to do a post grad MBA in entrepreneurship and became known backstage as the accounting kid. ___ Read a full transcript of this episode here. | |||
| Halle Mastroberadino — Let's Take It From The Top | 15 sept. 2020 | 00:53:34 | |
If you’ve listened to Studio Time previously, you’ll find the format of this episode is a bit different. Recorded over the course of 6 weeks, this episode documents Halle’s journey from being someone with an idea for a podcast through to the launch of her very first episode. I was able to check in with her at a number of points along the way to follow her progress and discover the questions she was asking. I was able to reach out to some colleagues who host their own podcasts, and tap into their collective insight and experience to get Halle some really helpful advice and useful answers. I’m proud to welcome back to Studio Time the voices of Drew Alexander Forde, Lili Torre, Peter Shepherd and introduce you to Molly Beck. I look up to all four of these podcasters and the way they show up for their own audiences and I’m grateful for their willingness to contribute here so generously. It’s a great reminder that the people in your network have an abundance of wisdom and experience to share - and there’s no prize for answering every answer on your own. ___ Read a full transcript of the episode here. | |||
| Kayle Clements — The Long and Winding Path | 29 juin 2020 | 00:56:19 | |

___ On June 19, Tim releases a brand new recording of American Morning on all the platforms you go to find music. He describes it as half cast recording, half concept album.

| Carly Valancy — Building Connection, Community and Collaboration | 11 mai 2020 | 01:00:02 | |
As she says on her website, in July of 2019, with one Audible credit, Carly listened to [the book] Reach Out by Molly Beck. After finishing it in two days, she challenged herself to do exactly what Molly did and Reach Out every weekday for one whole year. I created Studio Time for Carly and artists like her. Her story hits all the points in the introduction I repeat in every episode. By taking a series of very small steps she is creating a big impact for herself and others. She has taken an unconventional approach to building her network and furthering her career, which has created new opportunities for her as an actor, and has blossomed into a business that supports her while she is building a better world for her fellow creatives. As of the time of recording, the next session of Carly Valancy’s Reach Out Party begins May 17, 2020. For details about this and future sessions you can go to valenceandco.com/upcoming. To represent the global nature of the Reach Out community, there will be two sessions daily to cater to whatever timezone you’re in.

| Thom Sesma — Take the Next Step | 04 mai 2020 | 00:54:05 | |
With a stage and screen career that spans four decades, Thom’s experience has afforded him insight and wisdom that he shares generously in this conversation. Proud of his Basque-American and Japanese heritage, Thom is a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in every field of his profession. He made his Broadway debut in the original production of La Cage Aux Folles and since then Thom has managed to spend most of his life in rehearsal studios, on stages large and small, and in front of cameras on tv and film sets around the United States. His work has ranged from classical theatre to splashy musical comedies, from police procedurals and hospital dramas to soap operas and sitcoms. There’s an old idiom that says “Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.” In Thom’s case, you should understand that just one mile in his shoes is nothing. He and his wife Penny have travelled the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the 500 mile journey across Northern Spain…twice. I was grateful to learn some of what he discovered along the way.

| Louise Karch — The Name Whisperer | 27 nov. 2019 | 01:04:17 | |
With Word Glue, Louise shows us how to create names that stick. She unlocks the principles and processes to show you how to find a name that matters to the people you care about. In this episode Louise explains when she first got interested in names and we talk about artists who have changed their names and in doing so, changed their stories. Louise tells me what a trademark is and explains why you might want one, pointing out why today’s attention economy makes it essential to have a name that is remarkable. Louise shares some great principles to consider when naming your next show, album, business or even baby (for instance which name is more trustworthy - one that begins with the letter B or the letter C?) and discover the right way to get feedback on your name ideas so that you end up with a name that gets noticed, talked about, and remembered.

| Priya Mahendra — Sonder's Not Just For Strangers | 20 nov. 2019 | 01:02:59 | |
With the perfect balance of East and West, Priya’s parents moved to America from India and while she honours that heritage she’s also just a girl from Jersey. Her love of rap, classic rock and pop music led her to studying Entertainment Business. She worked in the music department of the major talent agency ICM Partners before leaving to follow her heart into the world of acting and theatre. Since then Priya has been on a very intentional path to build the career she wants and develop a platform where she can help everyone feel like they can belong in the theatre, whether they are making the work or experiencing it. With Kevin Schuering and a team of collaborators, Priya filmed a sequence of numbers from the musical "The Last 5 Years" to plant the seeds of possibility and open people’s eyes (including mine) to broadening the scope of who can tell the stories of the pieces we already know and love. Just like her blog Sunday Night Sonder, this episode with Priya gives you a chance to get to know the person behind the work.

| Shereen Ahmed — Opportunity and Responsibility | 11 nov. 2019 | 00:54:23 | |
Shereen has been on a wild journey, from making her Broadway debut in the ensemble of My Fair Lady, understudying Laura Benanti in the New York production before stepping into the spotlight to star as Eliza on the national tour. The girl who fell in love with Audrey Hepburn in the My Fair Lady film at age 12, is now introducing Eliza to a new generation and doing it in her own way. In this episode Shereen talks about her unconventional path to becoming a leading lady of the stage, the solidarity she has always felt with the character of Eliza, her dance (or should we say aggressive movement) with imposter syndrome, being faced with the challenge to conform growing up as a middle eastern woman in post 9/11 America and the opportunity and responsibility she finds herself with as she travels the nation representing the Middle Eastern identity.

| Lyndy Franklin Smith — From a Position of Service | 05 juin 2019 | 01:04:00 | |
Lyndy's experiences on the road and then on Broadway in The Little Mermaid and the 2006 Revival of A Chorus Line inspired her to collaborate with Austin Eyers to write a book that would celebrate the unsung heroes of theatre - the 'swings'. These are the performers who are ready to step into almost any role as required when another actor is unwell or injured, always without fanfare and often without recognition. Broadway Swings also serves to prepare first time swings for the roller coaster ahead of them and acknowledges their unique place within the performing company. With her husband Jeromy, Lyndy left New York City and returned to her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky where the grass is not only greener...there actually is grass. Her career expanded to include direction, choreography and teaching and Lyndy was invited to work on productions at Universities and Regional Theatres. In 2015 Lyndy and Jeromy launched the Lexington Theatre Company, which presents a season of music theatre each summer. They match together today's Broadway stars with tomorrow's Broadway hopefuls to bring wonderful theatre talent to the Lexington community and provide quality training and a pathway towards a professional career for aspiring artists.

| Mary Freer — Leading the Compassion Revolution | 18 mars 2019 | 01:11:49 | |
Though the lens of a system she knows very well, Health Care, Mary is teaching people about compassion. How to offer compassion to the people around you, the people you seek to serve and to yourself. She was the engine behind the social movement Change Day Australia which reached 146 000 people who all pledged to do one thing that could make a difference for the people they worked with. Whilst Mary works with more health care professionals than artists, she can teach us how making intentional small changes in how we approach our work can produce really big results. Notes and links from this conversation: I’ve got this idea that at any point of time, the world actually requires something of us. If we can work out what it is that the world requires and what we’re willing to give to the world and if there’s some beautiful little crossover there, then I think we’re in a wonderful kind of genius zone. - Mary Freer

| Richard Pryor Jr. — In a Pryor Life | 11 mars 2019 | 00:56:22 | |
If Richard’s name sounds familiar it’s because he is the first child of the actor and comedian whose name he bears. Richard Jr’s story of how he grew up amidst many of the same challenges that haunted his father - including abuse, an absent parent, alcohol and drug addictions - and yet somehow survived, is a tale that will inspire and give you hope that you can overcome just about anything. In a Pryor Life is an incredible book - Richard introduces readers to the larger than life characters who populated his life in Peoria where he grew up with his mum, and the well known names he rubbed shoulders with when visiting his father in Los Angeles. As an author he’s not afraid to lay himself bare, and the stories and anecdotes that Richard shares are honest, sometimes shocking and other times very funny. I thoroughly recommend the book as a fascinating read. In this episode we touch on some of the stories from his early years and how they were influenced and shaped by his colourful family. We learn how he began to establish his own identity as a young adult, and how learning to love and accept himself on his own merits allowed him to push beyond his self destructive behaviour and live life on his own terms.

She explains how quickly the writing and filming was done and then how she raised the funds and support to invest in proper post production and a well planned marketing roll out. We talk about the show’s preview screening and how the feedback she received from women differed from the feedback she received from some men and we dig into stereotypes and gender expectations, especially in comedy.

| Kirsty Stark — Reverse Engineer Your Way to Success | 25 févr. 2019 | 00:51:58 | |
In this conversation we track Kirsty’s journey from university, through her time in the camera department on film sets, to her realisation that she could have more influence on the stories that were being told on film by taking on the role of producer. Just some of those stories include a post apocalyptic adventure series, a comedy series about an uber driver on the autism spectrum who’s looking for love and a transgender student’s first day at high school. Kirsty describes how she has reverse engineered her way through what may have otherwise been insurmountable obstacles to get her projects made and why she chooses to keep her company in South Australia when others might move to Australia’s eastern states or even further afield.

| Xira — Starting Again From Scratch | 21 févr. 2019 | 00:48:58 | |
With radio plays already under her belt, Xira's latest milestone is having Sleep Talker added to Spotify’s Pop Edge playlist alongside songs by some of her favourite artists. In this conversation we talk about how Xira released her first single only 18 months after she began songwriting, how important it is to get over yourself and share your ideas sooner rather than later, the benefit of surrounding yourself with the right team and how embracing something brand new and having the courage to start as a beginner again kickstarted her songwriting career.

| Professor Michael Morley — A Scholar and a Gentleman | 14 févr. 2019 | 00:57:39 | |
Michael has embraced lifelong passions for learning, teaching and performing that stem from his earliest days growing up in New Zealand. We learn how his grandfather introduced him music and performance in a somewhat unconventional manner, how the encouragement of a series of teachers inspired him to step up his fascination in literature, poetry, theatre and music. Michael tells the story of how his afternoons playing badminton got him arrested in Zurich, and how changing his planned research at Oxford led to him discovering and championing the work of pre-war and exiled German composers and lyricists that might have otherwise been buried under the weight of their moment in history. Michael learned more in his first twenty five or thirty years than most of us will learn in our entire lifetime, but then perhaps more importantly has dedicated the forty odd years since then in sharing his knowledge, experience and insights with students, colleagues and audiences in New Zealand, Australia and around the world. In this episode we discuss:

If you’re in New York you’ll find Drew at his Wednesday evening residency at Marie’s Crisis Cafe, or working with another friend of the show as the resident musical director at the Jen Waldman Studio. Later this month you’ll find him in Houston as Musical Supervisor of the new musical “For Tonight”. Since moving to New York, Drew has become the first call vocal coach and music director for many artists and projects who are already working on Broadway or Broadway bound. In this wide-ranging conversation Drew and I talk about the power of community and the importance of protecting spaces where people can feel safe to express themselves. We discuss the benefits of diversity and inclusivity, and Drew shares some advice he learned from Stephen Sondheim and Mother Teresa. In this episode:

| Al Blackstone — What Happens When You Outgrow Your Dreams? | 28 janv. 2019 | 01:10:04 | |
Though well known for his witty and emotional work on the hit TV show So You Think You Can Dance, Al is perhaps best known for his original narrative style which blends dance and his own brand of theatrical storytelling. Al talks about walking away from your comfort zone to throw yourself into something new, which is what he did when he made the transition from Broadway dancer to choreographer. We talk about what happens when you outgrow your dreams and how Al uses his work to bring people together to provide a shared experience that is meaningful. Along the way we talk about some of Al’s greatest teachers and mentors and auditioning for Madonna.

| Peter Shepherd — Running Towards The Bang | 14 janv. 2019 | 00:50:25 | |
Peter co-hosts The Long and The Short Of It - a podcast for the curious, with another Studio Time guest Jen Waldman. He is Head Coach of Seth Godin’s altMBA leadership and management workshop and he is the creator of REVEAL - a program for artists and creatives who are looking to make a change in the world, their work, their audience or themselves. Instead of talking online, Peter and I recorded this episode face to face in Melbourne - which was a first for me - so you might notice that the audio sounds a little different. As someone who really enjoys The Long and The Short of It and the articles he writes at humanperiscope.com, I was pleased that we got to dig into some of Peter’s favourite themes and magic questions starting with how he thinks about Imposter Syndrome. Peter hasn’t trained as an artist in the same way as some guests on this podcast, but I think the themes and questions we talk about in this episode are going to resonate with many of you listening, especially if you seek to grow and make a greater impact as you move through the world, however you choose to measure that impact.

| Em Grosland — Artist as Advocate | 31 déc. 2018 | 00:59:58 | |
On Em’s website is the statement “I am passionate about work that challenges audiences, shifts paradigms, and serves to increase empathy in our culture.“ In this conversation you’ll hear how representing the truth of our own humanity in all its nuances as artists we can create space for others to do the same. There are lots of fun stories here, including those about pixie dust and Meryl Streep. But the thing that has stuck with me from this conversation is the idea of the artist as advocate. I think the thing that separates artists from entertainers is that artists are sharing ideas that they believe in and ideas that need a voice. As we move into the new year, I invite you to think about your own work as you listen to this episode. What are you going to be an advocate for this year?

His education and outreach work is continued through the programs that Broadway Inspirational Voices fund and facilitate in public schools and in partnership with Ronald McDonald House. We’re in the midst of the Holiday Season as this episode is released and as soon as you’ve finished listening to Michael’s story, I urge you to go to wherever you download or stream your music and listen to the choir’s wonderful recordings.

| Erin Clemons — Knowing When To Say No | 16 déc. 2018 | 00:46:09 | |
One of the big themes that comes up in this episode is something that a lot of people struggle with as artists and creatives…”accepting that it’s okay to say no.” Erin has been part of the Broadway and US Tour productions of some musicals that I’m sure you’ve heard of or seen, but to step into the next phase of her career she’s making the decision to say no to many of the opportunities that she previously would have accepted. This is the story of a smart, talented and engaging human who I think will inspire you with her candour, her vulnerability and her courage. In this episode we discuss:
