"And now, for something completely different! Nashville Recording Artist McKenna Faith stopped by Rohnert Park along her "Seal It With a Kiss" EP tour and took some time before her acoustic set to share her perspectives regarding songwriting, growing up in a musical family, the kinds of music that make her want to dance, and dancers' vital role in helping performers like herself get "in the zone" on stage.

"My grandma, Minnie Gonzalez, has seen some big changes move through the line dance scene in the thirty-plus years since she bought her first pair of cowgirl boots and she has plenty to say about what she thinks of those changes. In this episode, we discuss how line dance can: support one's mind and body wellness by simultaneously challenging both muscles and memory, broaden a person's perspectives and facilitate party-crossing social interactions that might not normally occur otherwise, and create an environment for escape from the daily grind through occasion-appropriate attire and behavior. Enjoy this one in your kitchen over a long cup of mint and/or green tea for a fuller, more immersive experience. ;-)"

Megan and I discuss our reflections following Indio, California's Stagecoach Country Music Festival in April 2019, specifically the time leading up to the first full day of dancing.

"A full-time, bona fide, line dance superstar dropped in on Novato's Wine Country Line Dance Social last December and shared his experiences with the podcast for over half an hour! Hear what John Robinson had to say about topics including: jewelry/"bling" as a side niche within the broader line dance experience, the importance of teaching students to dance "well" vs. teaching an excess of dances that are then done with flawed technique, and the various stylistic trends that have captured and lost the attention of choreographers en masse over the past few decades. What a treat!"

Megan and I discuss our reflections following Wine Country Line Dance's workshop with Amy Glass-Bailey and Darren Bailey in March 2019.
