On this episode I interview my friend of 18 years, Michael Harren. Michael is a very talented composer, podcaster and music teacher living in Brooklyn. He's also a vegan and animal rights activist.
We discuss what it was like for Michael growing up gay in a conservative Texas town, his time spent on tour with Sandra Bernhard, his most recent performance piece, and why it's okay to not always be okay.
