Diversity in Music with Chad Cannon
10/31/22 • 78 min
Contrary to our normal format, I got to sit down with Chad Cannon in his backyard and talk about a topic we are both really passionate about - diversity in music.
Having been a part of a multi-cultural projects ourselves such as Ghost of Tsushima, Mulan (Live Action), Thai Cave Rescue - we're untangling our thoughts on the state of "Hollywood Music" today. Further more in the episode, we get to explore a little bit of Chad's background and his religious roots, the reason why he's not currently active in the LDS church, and his ancestral connection with New Orleans that connects to his current project.
There were a lot of great discussion points for me and I hope that this sparks some conversation for you to continue exploring culture, history and diversity even further.

Dodo Kitcharoen, storyboard artist (Wolfboy and the Everything Factory, Go Go!)
Our guest today is a storyboard artist: Patradol "Dodo" Kitcharoen. Dodo is one of the first Thai people I met when I moved to LA. We quickly became friends and collaborators during our time at USC.
We get to learn about his upbringing of diverse cartoons, his relationships with drawings, and how it got him to fly across the pond to American. We then dove into his experience as a trainee at Cartoon Network and also going wayyyy back to when he was still working at an animation studio in Thailand called The Monk.
Dodo has just finished working on the Apple TV+ animated series Wolfboy and the Everything Factory. You could tell that this is a special show for him. And from this conversation, we get to see how the dotted lines are clearly connected to his child-self drawing comics for friends in class.

Should I go to college for music? | Education in Music with Dr. Michael Dudley
Today’s guest is a trumpet player, composer, a college professor and another one of my long time friends, Michael Dudley.
He’s performed and collaborated with some of the biggest names in Jazz such as Maria Schneider, John Daversa, Brian Lynch, and Donny McCaslin to name a few. He’s also currently an assistant professor of Jazz Studies at Crane School of Music in New York.
We get to talk about his struggles during our time in college together, his complicated relationship with trumpet and composition, and lastly answering the big question whether it’s still worth it to go to college for music.
Lastly, we touched on something Michael said to me a long time ago that has stuck with me since. He said something along the line of :
"I feel like I'm obviously not white from the color of my skin, but black people don't see me as being black enough either. So I sort of belong nowhere"
This really resonates with the concept of our podcast, being between the gap so to speak. I feel like I finally understand what that really means and I get to learn more about how Michael has come to terms with this in his young adult life.
