Customer Reviews
Creative and inspiring
A great interviewer can lean back and let the artist extemporize at length and depth about their craft. Marie does this with grace - yet skillfully steps in to clarify and guide the discussion. She is well researched and seems to know the interviewees' body of work as well as they know it themselves!
Fidelio podcast
I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in the arts and the people who bring the arts alive. This podcast is entertaining, informative, and enlightening! Check it out!
