In part two of our three-part series on musicians who podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jason Heath-- host of the Contrabass Conversations podcast. Jason started his podcast way back in 2007 (!!) and has continued with it on and off ever since. The show is now close to reaching 3 million downloads!!!
Jason's career has been very multi-faceted and is a textbook example of a modern portfolio career. From gigging all over the Chicago area, to blogging and podcasting, to teaching high school orchestra-- Jason has done it all!

In preparation for our June series with musicians who podcast, I'm bringing back the original trailer for the show. Listening back to the trailer has been a helpful reminder to me about why I started this podcast, how much growth it has experienced in the last 8 months, and how much growth I've experienced through producing the show!
I am SO pleased to share our next lineup of guests! Stay tuned to hear from Heidi Kay Begay of the Flute 360 podcast, Karen Cubides of The Musician's Guide podcast, and Jason Heath of Contrabass Conversations.

Last installment of mental health awareness month!
I wanted to ask New World flutist Leah Stevens to come on the show during mental health month because I have admired how transparent she is about her mental health struggles online. In addition to performing with the New World Symphony, she has served as principal flute with The Orchestra Now and substituted with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Quad Cities Symphony, South Bend Symphony, and the Lexington Philharmonic. Leah has also won First Prize in the Orchestral Audition and Masterclass and Second Prize in the Piccolo Orchestral Audition and Masterclass at the 2017 National Flute Association Convention.
In this episode:
How music school is a contributing factor to a decline in mental health How depression and anxiety affect everyday musician tasks  Social media as an accountability buddy  Taking a break next week, but we'll be back in June with musicians who podcast! Stay tuned!
