The Quirky Artist Jenna Sears

As the final episode of the season, I am exploring my time studying at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance (in Limerick, Ireland) with a few of my incredible colleagues. In this episode, we explore the history and artistic impact the Academy has to offer. On this episode, we hear stories from Rachel Evered, Ranóg Townsend, Kelsey Sutton, Pratyay Raha, and William Troy.

I talk to Fernando Lopez to explore how he has connected his songwriting journey to the social justice efforts in his home country of Guatemala.

I explore two songs that use music and lyricism to explore the in between of emotional expression.
