What exactly is an interlude? For me, it's those magical, fleeting moments between tracks on a CD or LP record, where powerful harmonies transition you into the next chapter of music. This is where inspiration meets rhythm, and it's where I live as a DJ at heart. "The Interludes Podcast" is the extended play of those moments – a continuous stream of inspiration and up-tempo vibes.
I, Val "The Voice" Johnson, serve as your guide through the voices of creatives, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers who are carving out exciting paths of discovery and exploration. In my podcast, we share intimate conversations with the trailblazers in music, performing arts, sports, and film. It's all about uncovering the pulse of the culture in entertainment and sports - and doing a little self-discovery along the way.
I'm here to inspire you to find your own creative "interlude," to ignite that journey full of fun and awe that audiences are eager to experience. Every Wednesday, I offer you a glimpse into the evolving culture of the entertainment and sports, all while weaving in the music that connects us. It's an invitation to explore, learn, and be moved – with an original soundtrack that inspires.

I want to be like Val when I grow up in the Podcasting World! I love her voice and the quality of the sound is on point. Waiting for her to launch her Masters Class. Now that I have one day during the week off and the longest work commute I can listen in. One of the things I have wanted to do is learn more about artist and appreciate the African American No Stop Sign comments on what we all see, hear and know. Thanks Val. You need a Radio Show!
Amazing.
Wow I! I learned so much about entertainment and history in such a short space of time. This was both entertaining and uplifting. Valarie Johnson is a natural. She is easy on the ears, very knowledgeable and a great story teller.
