On the Road to Joy & Freedom Podcast

On the Road to Joy & Freedom is the first of its kind podcast to incorporate stories from Artists of all Backgrounds to share their Accounts of performing in America. Instead of sticking to a single narrative from a single form of performance, we strive to bring you real and true Narratives from across the performing world. From Broadway to BFA, from Academia to homemade Artists – your story matters, and chances are, there's someone out there who needs to hear that "they're not alone" on this road to finding Joy and Freedom
