What it Means to Be Daring in The 21st Century

The Daring gives voice to an entire generation. As we struggle to express ourselves in a world built without us in mind, The Daring offers a platform for young artists fighting to establish themselves, that they might not only envision, but might actually influence the establishment of a better world in real time. Broad consideration is given for artists practicing various media and hailing from diverse social backgrounds; enabling listeners to place their ear directly to the pulse of this collective cultural consciousness of ours, and not miss a beat. The host is sensitive, keenly discerning, and really knows how to conduct an insightful and inspiring interview. I strongly recommend The Daring for intellectual curiosity, or simply for keeping abreast of what’s up and coming.
