Today's guest is Port Jefferson-based artist, Jennifer Hannaford.
Jennifer Hannaford was a forensic scientist for twenty-five years, and is now a contemporary artist. Her underwater series demonstrates a fantastically refreshing new talent – marrying superb technical drawing and painting skills, with her profound understanding of the human form.
In an effort to get in touch with her innate artistic side, Jennifer began her art career with a series of mug shots created entirely with her own finger prints. She recently expanded her subject matter and style to include the underwater series.
As a forensic scientist, Hannaford experienced some of the harsher realities of human nature. Her art allows her to explore beautiful moments of the living experience frozen in time on canvas; life, ascension, and balance. Using sensibilities that were born out of her professional training in forensic science, she understands how the body feels and reacts underwater. When we look at her representational work – we can easily relate it to our own life experiences.

Today's episode is with Lisha Lercari.
Lisha Lercari is from New York City. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Music Theory and a master’s degree in Music Education from the Manhattan School of Music. She also studied music in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, a French music teacher and conductor who taught many of the leading composers and musicians of the 20th century.
Lercari taught music for more than 30 years and for a majority of those years lead her non-profit Music and the Brain (MATB for short). This is a public school program inspired by neurological research linking music and cognitive development. MATB is the experience of what studies are telling us; when children receive sequential music instruction, it can impact their proficiency in language, reading, math and cognition. Nearly 300 schools across the world use the easy-to-teach curriculum to help children and adults understand and appreciate the language of music as well as read music and play the piano.
Here is a Ted Talk she gave a few years back posted on YouTube called How Music Empowers the Brain.

Today's conversation is with Wendy Goeldner Hermes. We discuss food addiction, the acting business (or the business of show, as Wendy puts it), as well as policies surrounding the pandemic for the past two years.
Wendy Goeldner Hermes began her acting career in 1988, after spending 4 years at DePaul University's Goodman School of Drama. After 3 years of soul-crushing auditions, for unscrupulous casting directors decades before the #MeToo movement, Wendy realized she loved the craft of acting but hated the business. Upon leaving "the business of show," she started a theater company with 8 other friends and fellow Chicago actors and directors called "The Griffin Theater." Wendy performed, ran lights, punched sound boards, and hung drywall.
After being transfixed about the inner workings of local politics, while trying to help run a theater space, Wendy shifted her focus to politics by using her public speaking savvy to navigate local, political campaigns from such various, local offices as school board, Illinois State Reps, U.S. Reps and super pacs.
During the 22 months of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, Wendy has been taking copious notes, recording data, watching task force meetings and "saving the receipts" on the changing tone of our politics. Look out for Wendy's new book For Those That Want It: My story on how Covid policies, protocols, promises & propaganda propelled me to join the Democrat Diaspora, coming to Amazon this winter!
