Luke Bulla joins me to talk about growing up in a musical family, a musical career, and his upcoming concert at New Brackett Church, May 1st at 7:00 pm. He's played with many bands and musicians, from Bela Fleck to a long-running tour with Lyle Lovett. Luke also is a songwriter in his own right and will be performing original music as well as covers at New Brackett.

You can support him directly through his website, or check out his music on streaming platforms. I particularly like Temperance Reel, but there are tons of great tracks to choose from.

Shannon Heaton, her husband Matt Heaton, and the Tokyo-based Irish musicians O'Jizo come out to Peaks on March 14th to perform at the New Brackett Church at 7pm. In this conversation, Shannon and I talk about the upcoming performance, but also the worldwide nature of traditional Irish music along with her upbringing in Thailand and Nigeria, and her podcast Irish Music Stories. At the end, you can hear two pieces - on by the Heatons and one by O'Jizo - for a taste of what's in store on the 14th.

Dr. Chuck Radis sat down with me to discuss his latest book The Mystery in the Room - a memoir of his 40+ years in medicine. The book is more than that, though, including his reflections on doctor-patient relationships, his childhood, and more. This conversation covers it all, and then some. I hope you enjoy!

If you want to pick up Chuck's book, it's available locally at Print and other bookstores, as well as digitally for the e-readers in your life.

Chuck also hosts a book release party at Print coming up January 20th at 7pm. Find the details at Print's website here: https://printbookstore.com/event/2026-01-20/dr-chuck-radis-presents-mystery-room
