Russ Curry founded Curious music in 1988. Curious music is a family owned, record label based in Coralville that curates experimental and reflective music. After a near 20 year hiatus Russ is back in the game and has a slew of new projects underway. Among many other things, Katie Imborek is a physician, clinical professor, and co-director of the University of Iowa Health Care’s LGBTQ clinic, which she co founded in 2012. She’s also been a major force behind the expansion of telehealth communications and other efforts related to combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The episode features music by Gossip Cult, Alex Body, and “White Picket Fence” by Hannah Frey for our Song of the Week.
