One of the most exciting things about being on other people’s podcasts for me is adapting to their format. Mine is fairly straightforward- some episode types have their own specific format, but it’s generally a conversation to be had.

Every so often, I find myself thinking back to a discussion I had with Jason from the Binge Movies podcast.

Another year, another performance of Vince Guaraldi’s classic music for the “Charlie Brown” Christmas special from Atlanta-area artist (and dear friend) Jeffrey Bützer and pianist T.T. Mahoney.
