[…] from finding out why the composer might have done what they did and how their own passion is written into the page. And then, of course, from sharing my love of music! The two of us together, I think, make a fantastic team when we allow that excitement on the air. Who do you see as some of your classical music podcasting peers, and are there any shows (e.g. Nadia Sirota’s Meet the Composer, Bill McGlaughlin’s Exploring Music) you’ve modeled your approach after? What can listeners expect in the immediate future? Allison: As I mentioned before, we were trying to hash out a format we liked and came across the What Makes It Great show.

By Jacob Stockinger The Chicago classical music radio station WFMT has come up with a novel idea. That is the same radio station by the way, that brings us “Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin ,” which airs every weekday night 8-9 p.m. on Wisconsin Public Radio . The insightful McGlaughlin himself is a former conductor, and The Ear suspects he had something to do with the quiz. WFMT is the same radio station with The Beethoven Satellite Network that brings us host Peter Van De Graaff who chooses and comments up to six hours of classical music overnight.
