I have been on a LOT of podcasts, but I found Mindy to be an exceptional host. She actually read my book! And had great questions! And was so much fun! And most of all, she expressed a genuine curiosity about the topics we discussed. I loved kicking it around with her. - Mike Errico
I was recently invited to be a guest on Mindy's show and it was such a JOY to speak with her. She asked such thought-provoking, interesting questions and offered her own beautiful insights and wisdom that were a pleasure bouncing off of. I thoroughly enjoyed her energy, and highly recommend listening to all episodes of her podcast! BRAVO, Mindy - and thank you for your excellent work for musicians and the world!
I had the pleasure of chatting with Mindy about the release of my latest album “Forest Flow” for families. I could tell that she really cares about understanding the work artists present, through her thoughtful questions and warm demeanor. I was quite relaxed and felt like I was chatting with friends at pickup from my son’s school! She has a really lovely presence and allowed me to share about the creation of this project in deeper ways. Wonderful!
One of my new favorite podcasts — I love the range of topics!
I was very happy to hear the quality of the broadcast. Mindy knew the material and was well prepared. She asked great questions and created a comfortable space for our conversation.
Mindy’s podcasts are wonderful explorations into the many ways music impacts our lives. Her guests bring great insights and her questions reflect her passion (and compassion) for the topics. Listen and learn! And, to make it even better, she’ll put a smile on your face!
Love meeting all the folks that enhance our lives with music!
I really love this podcast. Mindy has incredibly interesting topics and great guests.
This is a fantastic podcast. My 12 year old son has been playing music for years. And while I am not musical I have really found the podcast useful in terms of learning more about his journey. He has just gotten into a strong music programme and I have suggest this as a great resource to compliment his rigorous studies. Can't say enough good things about Mindy Peterson and her fantastic guests!
I really enjoyed my conversation with Mindy during Episode 38 - How does music affect my TV viewing experience? More importantly I am so impressed with Mindy's expertise in the study, education and enjoyment of music and the power it has to enhance our everyday lives. I encourage you all to listen and enjoy her podcasts!
I learn so much about how music enhances my life. I can't recommend this podcast enough. I love it! I learn so much new information and love the improv section where I can apply life hacks to my life. Bravo! Keep it up.
Just listened to the Coldplay music with kids. Chills and tears while listening. Thank you for sharing. Wow.
I have listened to all of the episodes and they are great! The conversations are so helpful and also very interesting. I am never bored listening to this podcast. Nice job!
I am a piano teacher as well as a big music enthusiast and this podcast has been very helpful to me with teaching helping me realize even more the huge value and impact that piano lessons and music overall has on our lives. I highly recommend this podcast to all my students and their families to gain more perspective on the power of music in a fun way!!
