Hello listeners, thanks to everyone who joined us last night for our holiday concert featuring the Mitch Hampton Trio!

Inside this episode with Mitch Hampton

“Interlochen Arts Academy at times appears to me to be a vast ocean whose streams extend quite far into my current life. Not only have many of its alumni been guests on this podcast, like Dmitri Matheney, Quinn Lemley, and Coleman Reaboi, but but many of its alumni also possess excellent networking skills that have enabled episodes to be fully realized.

In this case it was Jaques Wickham Davis who was in my graduation class and connected me with our current guest Emily Bracale.

I am happy Jacques did this because I discovered two beautiful works of art in the process.

Had I only known Emily by her high school major, I would have thought her main career would have been as a clarinetist!

Yet she has two illustrated books on the subjects of healing and grief that are important in their respective fields.

One common theme on our podcast is that at times guests have had more than a single career and are accomplished in more than a single medium.

Bracale is no exception to this principle.

I was very impressed with her books and was only too happy that she spoke candidly about her own health and history and even spiritual beliefs.

I feel her books would be helpful and meaningful to many in our audience and I hope you enjoy listening to our episode as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Emily’s Biography:

Emily Bracale is a graduate of the Interlochen Arts Academy and College of the Atlantic, with a B.A. in Human Ecology.

Her visual arts training began in early childhood from a clan of three generations of women artists and art teachers.

She has taught and supported the creativity of thousands of students from preschool through the college level, in private and public schools, summer camps, and independently.

She has held many solo art exhibits with an educational twist, most notably cultural travel sketches and paintings in “Visions of the World” and the “Lyme-Light” collection.

Many of her watercolor landscapes and seascapes are in private collections in the US and abroad.

She lives with her family in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Hi listeners,

In this November "Book Lunch" I take the deep dive into Don Delillo's 1985 novel about an American academic midwestern family, societal unrest, consumerism and much more.  Mitch dove deep into the pages and heart of this text, while also exploring the upcoming film adaptation!   

More on this special livestream event, here: 

Although it is a novel from the 1980s, Don Delillo's “White Noise” not only remains my favorite novel by him - yes even more even more than his “Underworld”, “Falling Man” and “Cosmopolis” - but will soon be a major film on Netflix, directed by Noah Baumbach and starring Adam Driver, Don Cheadle and Greta Gerwig!  

Moreover it is still one of the greatest of contemporary novels and my book lunch will be a celebration and deep dive into it."

Inside this Episode with your host,Mitch Hampton

Our current guest TanyaLoveBuddha comes courtesy from our producer Laurie Strickland.

Coming from our principle of equality, just as writer might read form their writing, musicals might perform music and painters show what they have painted, I thought it most appropriate to actually show in real time what someone with the gifts of Tanya does when she performs a Tarot reading.

While being in no way an expert on the nature of her art, I was more than happy for this opportunity to be able to observe a tarot reading.

As for the content of what she says about your host, there won't be any spoilers: as the flow of the episode is the best way to experience all that Tanya has to offer.

More About Tanya:

Tanya is an intuitive empath, natural-born seer, modern-day mystic, wayshower, and soul coach.

She has spent decades developing her natural abilities, delving deep into the esoteric world, psychology, and the understanding of humans and the human condition.

Tanya is a bridge between worlds, she has the unique ability to see truth and core issues effortlessly. She uses her finely tuned senses, vast knowledge of the metaphysical world, many psychic and storytelling skills, humor, experience, and deep compassion to guide, deliver insights and teach.

Her work has been described as shamanic as she is gifted with the innate ability to transform and transmute those who connect with her, yet she prefers to see herself as simply being of service.

She is often referred to as ‘the real deal’ and delivers spiritual guidance and soul medicine in a very grounded modern-day way.
