Episode 59: Susan Rogers Interview
It will be “One Week” before you get to hear another episode where we discuss a song by Barenaked Ladies because this week, Aaron and I had the distinct pleasure of talking with Susan Rogers, who among her many accolades can say that she co-produced “Stunt” for Barenaked Ladies 20 years ago. We were so enthused to have this opportunity, so please forgive us as we stood aside most of the time and just let this stunningly intelligent person astound us.
The book that she references in the interview is:

Thanks again to Dr. Rogers for taking her time to talk with us. She was an amazing guest and I wish that we had more time with her. If you are a Berklee student, make sure to take one of her classes.
