54 | Judging Music: College Auditions

57 | Special Guest Colin Currie!

The one and only! Tune in as we talk to Colin about his newest album release: Steve Reich Sextets (available April 11, 2026). A true pleasure to talk with someone at the top of our field on Steve Reich, chamber music, pedagogy, concertizing, and, briefly, puzzle tables!

56 | Colin Currie RECAP

The next episode is our interview with Colin Currie, Scottish percussionist extraordinaire. This episode was recorded afterwards, where the Mikes reflect, reminisce, and otherwise ruminate about Colin's transformative interview. We hope this piques your interest for the next episode!

55 | The Metronome

Whether you call it "The Met," "The 'nome," or "My best friend who always loves me," we're all talking about the same device: The Metronome! Are we using it the right way? Are we using it too much? Not enough? Oh, jeez - we've got to get the bottom of this!

54 | Judging Music: College Auditions

Just an epic level of opining on this episode. The Mikes try to figure out how we evaluate music performances, specifically in the college audition cycle. It's tough. We don't think we solved everything, but ideas were had, opining saturated the airwaves.

53 | Recap of Hannah Collins' Visit

We were flabbergasted by Hannah Collins. So inspiring, so many lessons; we HAD to debrief about it. This episode gets emotional, personal, honest, and full of MikeDroperties.  What do you think?
