The Troubadour Podcast
"It is the honourable characteristic of Poetry that its materials are to be found in every subject which can interest the human mind." William Wordsworth The Troubadour Podcast invites you into a world where art is conversation and conversation is art. The conversations on this show will be with some living people and some dead writers of our past. I aim to make both equally entertaining and educational.In 1798 William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge published Lyrical Ballads, which Wordsworth called an experiment to discover how far the language of everyday conversation is adapted to the purpose of poetic pleasure. With this publication, he set in motion the formal movement called "Romanticism." 220 years later the experiment is continued on this podcast. This podcast seeks to reach those of us who wish to improve our inner world, increase our stores of happiness, and yet not succumb to the mystical or the subjective.Here, in this place of the imagination, you will find many conversation with those humans creating things that interest the human mind.

Waiting Around in Hollywood... With Jeff Britting
On this special episode of Troubadour, I sat down in Hollywood with Jeff Britting. Jeff is an accomplished composer (including an Oscar nominated movie), play-wright, historian, author, and producer. He has lived in West Hollywood for the past 30 years.
We chatted about Quentin Tarantino's most recent movie Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
We discussed the changing role of Hollywood in America, how the stars used to wait around for roles (and what they did while they were waiting) and we spent a lot of time discussing Tarantino's movie and its impact on our culture.
We would love to hear your thoughts about this impactful movie.
*NOTE: With this podcast we do refer to some visuals. But the bulk of the show is a discussion of Tarantino's movie, with no visuals needed.
