Episode 39 - One Last Look Back

Episode 39 of the podcast is now available for your aural enjoyment. It marks the end of our look back. In all, there have been 34 episodes of original and new content.

In this episode, we look back at episodes 29 through 34 and feature conversation and music from Dustin Morris, Brandon Thomas, Michael Brown, Cary William White, Connor Jay Liess, and Wayne White. You'll find links to the full episodes for each artist below.

Measured Voices has been a great deal of fun, and I have enjoyed sitting down and talking with all of the artists featured. I've also enjoyed having the opportunity to hear some of their music. I hope you have as well.

While putting together the podcast has been fun and is a labor of love, it is also a fair amount of work. Because of that, I've decided to take some time off from working on the podcast. That time away will hopefully give me time to work on my own music and also line up guests for new episodes.

The current plan is to try to resume posting new episodes with the start of the new year. Check in with the podcast's Facebook page from time to time for updates.

In the meantime, I hope you'll check out some of the local songwriters living and working around the Treasure Valley. There are some truly fine songwriters and musicians who deserve your support, and I hope you'll give them a chance to win that support.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 35 - Taking a Look Back

Putting together the episodes of Measured Voices over the last 16 months has been a labor of love. The podcast has also opened my eyes to the depth and breadth of songwriting talent in and around Idaho's Treasure Valley.

The upside of that is that there is a large pool of songwriters from which to search for guests for future episodes. The downside is that nearly everyone is hustling for gigs, and many of them have to travel far and wide to secure performance opportunities, which can make scheduling tough.

My current difficulty in lining up guests, coupled with the fact that it's summer, prompted me to decide this is the perfect time to take a look back while I decide what to do going forward. Over the next several weeks, I'll put together retrospective episodes sharing bits and pieces of the conversation that have taken place to date, along with some of the songs these songwriters have been gracious enough to share with me and you.

This first retrospective episode covers the first seven episodes of the podcast, one of those a two-parter. Links to the full episodes can be found below.

If you are a songwriter or know of one would be interested in being featured in a future episode, contact me via email at measuredvoices@gmail.com. In the meantime, be sure to go out and support live local music and local songwriters.
