Gathering Together and Occupying Space | Zachary Carothers & April Holder - a podcast by Shannon Feltus and Boni Dutch
from 2021-11-22T23:01:42
It's not everyday that you get to interview a massively talented touring musician who has a lot of interest in being a really good human. Zach is a Portland loving Alaskan who has a really infectious smile that lights up his whole face and sets the tone for the first part of this two part special. First we get into family love, travel chaos and long term friendships. As a bassist in a band so many people know from the radio and commercials and more, it's so refreshing to know how much he loves pet hamsters and cherry squares. There is so much more than music to this brother from another mother ( Hi Judy!). We all trip down music poster memory lane and hear awesome band mom stories galore. Plus Zach gives a very excellent tip for getteing the most out of a one day trip to a new place.
The second part to this heavy hitter is a big honor for us. We are following the lead from our friends at the PTM foundation and asking April Holder to talk with us about topics that are often ignored because of the seriousness of cultural divide. April is an incredibly talented artist who has a snarky wit and sharp edge to her personality. We had the best time talking before this sit down and we had many hugs and laughs afterward too. But for this segment we are getting into the hard stuff so buckle up. Boni and Shannon ask several questions while listening to April and they know it may sound ignorant or off putting. In our opinion not asking is worse than asking the wrong things and learning how to be better. As we are in the week of Thanksgiving let's look at what we are mindful of and treat this "holiday" in a way that is respectful and inclusive. Being thankful everyday is something April touched on and it resonated.
Thankful and grateful for these two beautiful souls and for all of you.
