In this episode of the 94twenty podcast, we go deep y'all. Even Carl said it's our "Dr. Phil" episode! We talk about how music can be therapy for times when people truly need something to cling to. Also, our thoughts on the difference between an artist sharing their music or simply performing it and its impact on their fans. There's a lot of "unpack" in the episode, but in the end, if you take anything away from it, it's . . . . we still don't know what we are doing. The "Question of the Week" was answered by Lexi Jordan and Krista Angelucci.

"What would you say has been your biggest challenge in pursuing your music career?" That's the question that we asked a few artists this week! 94twenty is evolving and we have incorporated a new "QUESTION OF THE WEEK" segment that will feature answers from artists and industry experts. You'll hear you their thoughts (and ours) on how they are looking at the future of music! This week, Nigel Passey, Melanie Meriney, Adam James of the UK band Calm and Alaina & Katy from Maybe April were all kind enough to answer our very first "QOTW"! Take a listen.

When was the last time you truly listened? This week, Nicole, Greg and Carl dive into the topic of listening and how it not only can make you a better communicator but a better music artist as well. There is something to be said for being able to truly listen to what's going on around you, as opposed to simply 'hearing' what someone else is saying! We enjoyed talking about this topic and hope you'll like 'listening' to it!

Movies, we all love them, we all watch them, especially during these times. But how many of us really understand how the music behind the movies we love moves the story forward without us even knowing it? This week, we all talk about our favorite music in film. Why it moves us. And how the film industry's usage of music has changed over the years. While discussing the recent biopic of Queen, we even get to hear a personal story of Carl's on how the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" came to be. Featured music this week, appropriately, will be assorted excerpts from scores that have been featured in movies over the years!
