The fiddler Mark O'Connor is probably best known for his million-selling Appalachian Waltz project – a kind of chamber/folk album with famed cellist Yo Yo Ma and bassist Edgar Meyer. Mark has also written string quartets, concertos, and orchestral pieces – and they all come from the same place as his solo fiddle sets – everything is rooted in the sounds of American music, especially bluegrass. Maggie O'Connor is also a fiddler, and singer, who moves easily between those two worlds, and together, this husband-and-wife team have been touring with a program called Beethoven and Bluegrass. There's no Beethoven today for this session, but hear some O'Connor classics, old and new, in-studio. Set list: 1. Limerock 2. We Just Happened To Fly 3. Appalachia Waltz
Since 1981, Welsh musician Mike Peters has been the voice of the hit-making British band The Alarm. After the band split up in 1991, Peters wrote and released solo work, before reconstituting The Alarm in 2000, (Wikipedia.) Since being diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2005 (he is also co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation), Mike Peter's career has been largely determined by the cycle of remission and relapse. But to listen to The Alarm's 2023 album Forwards, and you'll hear a man whose songwriting is as anthemic as ever, and, yes, determinedly forward looking. Mike Peters played some of these new songs, as well as one of the band's old hits, on acoustic baritone guitar, in-studio. (From the archives, 2023.) Set list: "Forwards", "Next", "The Stand" Watch "Forwards": Watch "Next": Watch "The Stand":

King Hannah is an indie-rock duo from Liverpool consisting of singer and songwriter Hannah Merrick and guitarist Craig Whittle. Their latest album, Big Swimmer, seems to be the result of Merrick's observations after touring around the United States, where it wasn't the big cities or expansive vistas that inspired her songs, but the little moments and conversations and observations – details that inspire songs that can be drily funny, unsettling, or both. She also toggles between a kind of pitched speech and outright singing over moody electrified rockenroll - sometimes fuzz-drenched, sometimes jangly. King Hannah plays in-studio. Set list: 1. New York Let's Do Nothing 2. Crème Brûlée 3. Big Swimmer
Bab L'Bluz is a French-Moroccan band playing a distinctive band of rock, one that's built on the sounds of North and West African music, and on the Blues. The band was born from the dream of propelling Guembri (the Gnawa's guitar) on the international music scene of contemporary music, and has expanded to include electric mandole and electric ribab. They've released two albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World record label, the most recent of which is called Swaken – kind of a “Losing yourself to find yourself” trance state, (Bandcamp's Swaken liner notes.) Bab l'BLuz plays their “Hot Psychedelic Gnawa Blues!”, in-studio. Set list: 1."Ila Mata" 2."Imazighen" 3."IWAIWA FUNK"
Every podcaster, no matter how experienced, has made their fair share of mistakes — and that's not just normal, it's necessary for growth. In this episode we're digging into the common slip-ups that happen behind the mic, why they're nothing to be ashamed of, and how embracing mistakes can actually make your show stronger and more relatable. From technical glitches to guest mispronunciations, we'll explore how these moments can lead to unexpected opportunities, audience connection, and long-term podcasting success. Mistakes aren't roadblocks — they're building blocks. Every podcaster has them—flubbed intros, awkward silences, tech fails. But what if your mistakes aren't setbacks, but setups for growth? Today's Hosts: MacKenzie Bennett and Mike Dell Common Podcasting Mistakes (And Why They're Normal) Technical mishaps: bad audio, dead batteries, laggy guests. Editing errors: missed ums and ahs, over-editing, or publishing the wrong version. Content mistakes: rambling tangents, missed questions, forgetting your CTA. Guest flubs: a guest misspeaks, or you pronounce their name wrong (and how recovery matters more than perfection). Point: Mistakes happen to everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros. Normalize it! The Hidden Gifts in Podcasting Mistakes Authenticity: Listeners love real moments; they feel more connected when you're human. Unexpected Content: Tangents or mistakes can turn into great bonus episodes or blooper reels. Learning Opportunities: Every error teaches you something—about your process, equipment, or even your audience. Audience Engagement: Invite your audience in on your learning journey ("What do you think I should've done here?"). Idea: Some podcasters even intentionally share bloopers to build community and lighten the mood. How to Turn Mistakes into Growth Reflect, Don't Regret: After a mistake, ask: What went wrong? What's the lesson? Document Lessons Learned: Keep a "lessons log" for future episodes. Adjust Processes: Add checklist items to prevent repeat errors. Embrace Real-Time Recovery: Practice improv and grace when things go off-script. Celebrate Progress: Revisit early episodes to appreciate your growth curve. Bonus Tip: Try turning small mistakes into bonus content or future topic inspiration. Mindset Shift: From Perfection to Progress The pressure to be perfect and how it actually stifles creativity. Letting go of perfection opens up space for experimentation and genuine connection. Listeners often prefer personality over perfection—they're tuning in for you, not flawless execution. Tips for Minimizing the Impact of Mistakes Redundancy in recording (record locally + cloud). Soundcheck and equipment checklist before each episode. Prep outlines but allow for organic conversation. Record short segments rather than long continuous takes. Have a post-production review process. Reflect on their own growth moments and celebrate progress. Even when you think you're past the learning curve, new mistakes pop up. Here's how to stay humble and curious as your show evolves. Looking back, our best lessons came from moments we didn't plan. Mistakes make better podcasters. Thanks for listening to Podcast Insider, you can subscribe to new episodes out every Monday.

Aotearoa singer/songwriter Marlon Williams'(Kāi Tahu, Ngāi Tai) is a singer and songwriter from Lyttleton, New Zealand. He's spent this past decade creating a personal blend of country, indie, and folk music; and he's been an actor, and makes an appearance in the film A Star Is Born. But his new album is something different – maybe not musically, but Marlon Williams is from a Maori family and has chosen to sing in the Maori language on his new record, called Te Whare Tīwekaweka. He's also the subject of a new documentary film, which follows Williams through international tours to quiet home life, all while working on the album. Marlon Williams chats about his journey with his ancestral tongue, his collaborators, and the process of writing his first te reo Māori album; he plays solo, in-studio. Set list: 1. Aua Atu Rā 2. Kāhore He Manu E 3. Pānaki

Immersion consists of the husband and wife team of Colin Newman, who you may know from the veteran English rock band Wire, and Malka Spigel from the band Minimal Compact. And Nanocluster is the name of a series of collaborations between the Immersion and various guests (Laetitia Sadier, German post-rock duo Tarwater, electronic musicians Ulrich Schnauss and Scanner, and others.) Vol. 3 of Nanocluster features the NY-based ambient country band called SUSS. The veteran musicians of SUSS - Pat Irwin (the B-52s, Raybeats, 8 Eyed Spy), Bob Holmes (numun, Rubber Rodeo), and Jonathan Gregg (the Combine, the Linemen) - combine pedal steel, mandolin, national steel guitar, and other textures with electronics to create their wide open sonic landscapes, (Swim). Immersion and SUSS play music from their open-minded and atmospheric explorations, in-studio. Set list: 1. Khamsin 2. In The Far Away 3. State of Motion
The percussion quartet serves as faculty and ensemble-in-residence at the UMKC Conservatory. Playing on wine glasses and an empty bourbon bottle (in addition to a vibraphones and drums), Sandbox Percussion recently performed a dynamic Tiny Desk Concert at NPR.
The British cellist, producer, and composer Peter Gregson has collaborated with some of the biggest names in contemporary music, including Max Richter, Gabriel Prokofiev and Jóhann Jóhannsson. His own work includes soundtracks for film and TV, electroacoustic works, and a series of string quartets. Daringly, he has also “recomposed” J.S. Bach's six cello suites for himself, a cello ensemble, and electronics. His latest album, Peter Gregson, is collection of contemporary songs without words for cello and a modular synthesizer that he built out himself. Peter Gregson plays some of these songs in-studio. Set List: 1. Prism 2. Constellation 3. Vision
Mit seinem neuesten Album begibt sich Zach Condon auf eine Zirkusmusik-Odyssee – und bringt unter anderem ein Einhorn davon mit "nach Hause". Kaum anderthalb Jahre nach dem vierfach beim radioeins-Soundcheck als "Hit!" bewerteten und zu unserem Album der Woche gekürten "Hadsel" veröffentlicht Beirut-Mastermind Zach Condon morgen bereits sein nächstes ambitioniertes Werk: "A Study Of Losses" ist kein "gewöhnliches" Beirut-Album, falls es so etwas überhaupt gibt, sondern eine Auftragsarbeit, die zur musikalischen Untermalung der gleichnamigen akrobatischen Bühnen-Show des schwedischen Zirkus "Kompani Giraff" dienen wird. Damit arbeitet der in Berlin lebende Condon auch gleich noch quasi ein altes Trauma auf: "Ich wurde jahrelang in eine Schublade gesteckt, in der ich ein skurriles Zirkuskind war, umgeben von sepiafarbenen Bildern von Groschenromanen und vielleicht Löwendompteuren mit Schnurrbärten. Es hätte nicht weiter davon entfernt sein können, wie ich mir die Musik vorstellte, die ich machte. Es ist also eine Ironie, dass ich das Projekt von Kompani Giraff so verlockend fand." Inspiriert wurden die Songs, die übrigens auch ohne Stars in der Manege hervorragend wirken, vom Roman "Verzeichnis einiger Verluste" der deutschen Autorin Judith Schalansky; das Stück "Guericke's Unicorn" bezieht sich obendrein auf die vor über 300 Jahren vom Naturforscher Otto von Guericke hergestellte angebliche fossile Rekonstruktion jenes Fabelwesens, die in Wirklichkeit aus den Knochen verschiedener Tiere wie Wollhaarmammut und Narwal geschaffen wurde und den Musiker seit Langem faszinierte. Mehr erfahren wir von Zach Condon selbst, denn er ist unser dieswöchiger Lokalmatador.

The Indian-born tabla player and composer, teacher, and advocate Zakir Hussain, son of Ustad Alla Rahka, who passed away in late 2024, wasn't just a virtuoso improviser - he was one of the world's exceptional percussionists, working in many genres, and was the world's preeminent tabla master. He was a great communicator in many musical languages, including jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, Nigerian talking drums, or Indonesian gamelan; he was also a great listener and a bringer of joy (editor can't help herself.) One of the most exciting ways that Zakir Hussain shared tabla specifically, and percussion more broadly was by way of the Masters of Percussion Tour – which was exactly as stunning and marvelous as a music fan (especially a drum nerd) might ever imagine. Zakir turned the tabla into a global instrument by way of his incredible collaborations, playing with everyone from George Harrison to Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, from John McLaughlin's Shakti and Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Project; he's laid down beats for Scottish fiddlers Charlie McKerron (Capercaillie) and Patsy Reid (formerly of Breabach); played concertos with western orchestras, with and without banjo player Bela Fleck and bassist Edgar Meyer, and performed and recorded with scores of Indian classical musicians. Zakir Hussain enjoyed the different challenges that each new collaborator “will throw at him”. For this edition of the Soundcheck Podcast, Ustad Zakir Hussain joined Pandit Rahul Sharma, the son of illustrious santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, who established the pedigree of the santoor within Indian Classical Music. Pt. Rahul Sharma has since built on his father's style, “taking the santoor to new corners of the world”, (Darbar.org). Rahul Sharma has also collaborated widely across genres, having released some 60 albums, split between classical Indian music and more experimental recordings. Rahul Sharma and Zakir Hussain played in-studio in Oct of 2024, just about six weeks before Hussain passed away. - Caryn Havlik Set list: 1. Dhun: Misra Pahadi 2. Dhun Keharwa Sharma explains the roots of the santoor, and gives a quick demonstration of its 94 strings which require precise tuning: Zakir Hussain also gave an intimidatingly fast explainer of some of the syllables of tabla, what the left and right hand might do, with unbelievable and impressive speed: See their performances:
Fritz Hutchison, leader of the band Fritz and Sons, knows his way around the Kansas City music scene. The multi-instrumental singer-songwriter said his "hunger" for music led him to be versatile.
On this special new episode of "Soundcheck," Hosts Devin Foote and Isaac Koens interview local Musician, Jacey Rezmer, to learn about her music career from her biggest inspirations to how she got started; followed up by a special concert featuring her songs from her EP, "Between Dreams and Reality".
The Nigerian singer, songwriter and bandleader and Seun Kuti keeps alive the Afrobeat tradition founded by his legendary father, Fela Kuti, back in the 1970s. In fact, when Fela died in 1997, it was Seun, his youngest son, who took over the band, now called Egypt 80. Like his late father, Seun Kuti takes on topics like government corruption and corporate greed in his songs, setting his lyrics and his blazing sax solos to an insistent dance beat. Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 play tunes from their most recent album, Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), in-studio. Set list: 1. Stand Well Well 2. Love and Revolution 3. Emi Aluta
New York-based Ruckus is an early music ensemble that plays with the energy of a rock band. Most early music groups feature instruments like the harpsichord and the viola da gamba, and Ruckus does too, but you'll also hear synthesizer, guitar, bassoon, bass, and near Eastern frame drums. And on their new album, The Edinburgh Rollick, they focus on traditional Scottish folk songs and dances. Set list: 1. The Gigg Set (Cairngoram Mountain, The Gigg, Lady Charlotte) 2. Robie Dona Górach 3.The Forrests Set (Lord Elcho, Dunkeld House, Forrest's)
CocoRosie -the band founded by the sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady – blends elements of pop, freak folk and electronic music into a distinctly personal, idiosyncratic sound. The sisters use their voices, electronics, and found sounds – usually the sounds of toys – to make songs that can be whimsical, provocative, haunted, beautiful - sometimes all at once. CocoRosie plays new songs from their latest album, Little Death Wishes, in-studio. Set list: 1. Wait for Me 2. Cut Stitch Scar 3. Paper Boat 4. Give It to the Wind Little Death Wishes by CocoRosie
On this episode of "Soundcheck," hosts Isaac Koens and Devin Foote discuss the ways that music is utilized in commercials and advertisements, whether that be through appropriating popular songs or brand-specific jingles.
In 2010, we first fell under the spell of an extraordinary duo: Ballaké Sissoko, master of the West African harp or kora, and Vincent Segal, the French cellist. After a couple of albums together they added another duo, accordion virtuoso Vincent Peirani and sax player Emile Parisien, and that quartet has released an album called Les Egarés – those who stray – an apt name for a band that refuses to color within the lines. There is a unity and fluidity in the way the players listen without competing, return musical answers to questioning phrases, and maintain fluidity and a sense of play. The quartet, “a poetic asylum for the two duos” (Bandcamp) – where chamber music, French chanson, West African folk, and jazz all mix freely - is performing here in the U.S. on tour for the fist time, and they play in-studio. Set list: 1. Esperanza 2. Orient Express 3. Banja
In Episode 115, the hosts discuss how to carry out sound check and begin building the mix. A proper sound check goes beyond just making sure everything is plugged in, it also helps in staying organized for the upcoming performance and shines a light on problems that could occur.

A creative collaboration between a Lawrence high schooler named Flora and her dad, Flora From Kansas dropped its debut EP, "Homesick," on March 14. Flora says the musical project has made her feel less alone.
Harpist, soloist, collaborator (Harlem Chamber Players), educator, and arranger Ashley Jackson's brand new album is called Take Me To The Water. In the American spiritual tradition, water is a powerful metaphor for freedom and for moving from this life to the next. Jackson's record takes listeners on a watery journey through works by Debussy, the jazz harpist Alice Coltrane, blues, and some classic spirituals. As Jackson declares in a statement about the record, ”Water is something that we all need. It sustains us, it gives us life. Take Me to the Water reminds us we have a choice: we can let water be the thing that divides us, or, it can allow us to come together through our shared humanity.” She plays some of her arrangements of spirituals on a sculpted maple harp, in-studio. Set list: 1. River Jordan 2. Deep River II 3. Take Me to the Water I
Essence of Soul Dj Bully B - Sound Check - Free Style Mix - 24-3-25
New York composer and guitarist Rafiq Bhatia is part of the art rock band Son Lux, the experimental trio best-known for scoring the film Everything Everywhere All At Once. His new EP – his first new solo project in 5 years - features pianist and improviser Chris Pattishall and is called Each Dream, A Melting Door. In their electro-acoustic songs, Rafiq alters the audio output from his guitar in real time with effects software, while Chris responds at the keyboard - although sometimes Chris will lead the exploration. ("It's basically a set of works for a piano that sounds like a piano and a guitar that sounds like anything and everything else", -John Schaefer.) The longtime friends and collaborators play some of their filmic, sculpted, and evolving soundscapes, in-studio. Set list: 1. Occlusion 2. Ijen 3. Supplicant

Jan Blomqvist is part of the legendary electronic music scene in Berlin – but he's also a singer and producer, so his take on techno and house music is more song-oriented than many of his fellow DJs. One thing that sets Blomqvist apart is that he makes music in the studio with an eye towards live performance, earning him a description of “concert techno”. His latest album, MUTE, is about a generation that has grown up with apparently unlimited connectivity but still feels disconnected (which is also the name of his record label.) Sometimes the songs grow from and explore silence, (not just the space before the beat drops), while others create hope in dark and uncertain times. There's even a song that tells the love story between a human and an AI, like in the film HER, or the recent novel Annie Bot. Jan Blomqvist lays down pulsing energy and haunting vocals, in-studio. Set list: 1. Destination Lost 2. Underwater 3. Algorithm
After years as one-third of the Kansas City indie rock/hip hop trio BLACKSTARKIDS, TheBabeGabe is going solo. Her new mixtape "HONEYPOP" aims to re-introduce her to the world.
German producer & multi-instrumentalist Aukai, aka Markus Sieber, grew up in the former East Germany, but his travels have taken him through Latin America, and he is now based in Colorado. "Aukai" is a Hawaiian term for a seafaring traveler, and on 2018 record, Branches of Sun, he has captured a certain nomadic wanderlust which might connect a listener to a certain peace of being in nature, high in the mountains. With an ensemble that centers on the South American ronroco, a kind of mandolin-like lute, (“the bigger brother of the charango”), harp, violin, percussion and electronics, Aukai and Ensemble perform some of his electro-acoustic creations, in the studio. (From the Archives, 2018.) Watch the complete live session:

With her clever guitar playing and powerful stories, Oklahoma-based Cherokee singer and songwriter Ken Pomeroy draws on brutal honesty and the songwriting skills she has honed since she was 11 years old. She's already found herself on the big screen and small when her song “Wall of Death” made its way onto the Twisters soundtrack, while Hulu's Reservation Dogs featured her soul-mining gem, “Cicadas.” Pomeroy touches on her Native American heritage (mentioning coyotes – a troubling omen) and somewhat painful, personal past, as she plays songs from her album Cruel Joke (due in May 2025), in-studio. Set list: 1. Stranger 2. Days Getting Darker 3. Flannel Cowboy

Syrian clarinetist and composer Kinan Azmeh has been based here in New York for many years. His music is an organic mix of East and West, of classical composition, jazzy improvisation, and Near Eastern music traditions. He's played with the Silk Road Ensemble and lots of other groups large and small, but the one we see him with most often is his Arab-Jazz Quartet known as CityBand – all one word. It's a band where Azmeh's stirring and expressive clarinet meets Kyle Sanna's rustic guitar, soaring at times over the dynamic and volatile backdrop of John Hadfield's percussion and Josh Myers' bass. Along with some talk about his homeland of Syria, apricot trees, and (of course), soccer, Kinan Azmeh and CityBand play some of the music from their latest album, called Live In Berlin, in-studio. Set List: 1. Daraa 2. Jisreen 3. Wedding

Third Coast Percussion is a Grammy-winning classical quartet based in Chicago. They're all composers themselves, but they've also worked with a wide variety of other composers, including Philip Glass and the late great tabla player Zakir Hussain. Their new EP, Murmurs In Time, features Zakir's work of that name, and he was supposed to join Third Coast Percussion here today, but as you may know, he passed away in December. This Soundcheck studio premiere of the work features a disciple of Hussain's, Salar Nader. We'll also hear an excerpt from another work written for Third Coast Percussion, by Tigran Hamasyan, the Armenian jazz pianist and composer. Oh – and it's in 23/8, for anyone counting along. (-John Schaefer) Set list: 1. Tigran Hamasyan – Sonata for Percussion, 3rd Mvmt. – “23 for TCP” 2. Zakir Hussain: Murmurs In Time – second mvmt.

Sachal Vasandani and his band play some of those songs, imbued with warmth and soulful groove, in-studio. Set list: 1. Best Life Now 2. Don't Give up On Me 3.

When compiling the story of Markus Schulz's career, his connection with the people of Los Angeles, and particularly the legendary venue of Avalon in Hollywood, would require a book-long chapter. A venue in which his dedication to the open to close performance of the DJ art excels, he returned on Saturday February 1 for his latest adventure. A city and area reeling from the devastation caused by forest fires, his goal for the night carried an extra emotion as a result, aiming to provide those affected with a small sense of escape, at least for a little while. This set forms part of Markus' monthly Global DJ Broadcast World Tour series - providing a snapshot of his sounds in the liveset environment; spread across famed clubs and festivals around the globe. The next will take him to Soundcheck in Washington DC, where he will play on Valentine's Night, Friday February 14. You're also welcome to check out Markus' companion 30 minute streaming series Weekly Drive, with the newly released episode 36 out now.
