There has never been a more crucial moment for a podcast dedicated to, and advocating for, the performing arts and its practitioners in Connecticut. The decline in arts coverage in the more traditional forms of newspapers and magazines, coupled with society's evolving needs and the internet's role in news consumption, has left the arts lagging in forging meaningful connections with audiences. This podcast aims to cultivate a more engaging, responsive, and enriching environment for the arts in our communities.

Connecticut’s rich artistic heritage from Charles Ives, Marian Anderson, Dave Brubeck, Sol LeWitt to Arthur Miller is home to many outstanding arts organizations in Music, Dance, Theater and the Fine Arts, numerous individual artists, Arts Schools and Colleges offering courses for all ages and abilities making CT a State that punches above its weight in quantity and quality with opportunities to develop greater understanding, awareness, a sense of belonging and individual development through the arts.

Human need for the arts helps us to understand both our personal and collective experiences - our fears, struggles, joys and dreams in a complex world. All forms of the arts have reflected upon personal experiences to political upheavals through the depths of Beethoven’s dramatic and revolutionary music to Freda Kahlo’s emotionally charged self-portraits that provide an intimate window into personal suffering, triumph, and identity. Join us to explore why the arts play such an important role in human development.
