The Band DadCreating a Shared Cinematic Universe for your MusicWelcome to another episode of the NEW podcast I'm testing called The Band Dad Q&A Podcast.

I don't know anything about a LOT of the people I talk with. My conversations with my audience members live in a sort of vacuum where I judge them solely on the ideas they BRING to that conversation.
