What I Really Want to Talk About
Did you know that Kareem Abdul Jabbar loves comic books and that Tom Hanks collects vintage typewriters. I Once talked to the Governor of one of our 50 states who waxed poetic about shoeing horses. Every single one of us has a passion, and a story to tell--something that lights us up. On this show, I sit down with fascinating people and we talk about the things that really matter to them and to all of us. It might be surprising, it might be funny , it might be deep…It’s What I Really Want to Talk About.

Amy Burkhardt is a successful higher ed fundraiser and the host of her own radio show focused on women artists. Since the age of five when her father brought home a mysterious red cloak that just might have belonged to Prince, she has been smitten. We talk about his boundary crossing music, his lyrics that made it ok to be different, and his status as a cultural icon. Amy also does a deep dive into Purple Rain--the song, the album, the movie, and the new musical which premieres in October in Minneapolis. Of course, Amy already has tickets.
