The format of the podcast is split in to two types of episode; INTERVIEWS and CONVERSATIONS.The Interviews released will follow a standard interview format, with one host interviewing a special guest. The topic of conversation begins with how the guest journeyed into the world of Vocal Health, and often explores a more philosophical and idealistic avenue.The Conversations are played out in real time, and are unplanned musings between Dr Jenevora Williams, Stephen King and Robert Sussuma. These include phenomenological, existential, anatomic, pedagogic and experiential principles. Serious philosophy with some light-hearted interplay.The subject for these conversations is an unplanned topic, one of several that have been pre-set into a randomiser. In listening in, you will be steered down all kinds of cobbled conversational streets between the three hosts, unpicking relevant research or anecdotal concepts and “practice-based evidence”.
