  Sep 9, 202623 min

  Host Kevin P. Henry sits down with singer‑songwriter Sarah Johnson to explore her creative journey, from childhood choir to writing and producing music at home. Sarah discusses where she draws inspiration — personal experiences, friends, K‑dramas and late‑night voice memos — and how those sparks become songs like "Escape for a Day" and "No Fight." They dig into Sarah’s production approach (building tracks first, using home studio tools, balancing effects with emotion), her identity as a songwriter who sings, vocal practice, and what fulfills her most: steady growth. Sarah closes with practical advice for aspiring artists: start where you are, embrace imperfection, and keep creating.

  Jul 22, 202636 min

  In this episode, Kevin P. Henry talks with acclaimed classical saxophonist, composer and educator Steven Banks about his musical journey and his mission to establish the saxophone as an essential voice in the modern classical music world. Over 35 minutes, Steven traces his path from piano to middle school saxophone to his studies at Indiana University and Northwestern, and explains how composition eventually brought his performing, teaching and writing together.

  From Church Pulpits to Breaking News: Deborah Horne's Journey

  Jun 6, 202633 min

  Host Kevin sits down with veteran television reporter Deborah Horne to trace her path from Newport News, Virginia, to a distinguished career in broadcast journalism. They discuss the moment the journalism spark ignited — the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the transformative power of television — and Deborah's early influences, including the black church and mentors who nurtured her voice. The conversation covers Deborah's education and transition from print to TV, early career setbacks and breakthroughs, and practical advice for aspiring journalists: how to network, the value of internships (and how the landscape has changed), the importance of being camera-ready, and how to build a reputation through persistence and informational interviews.

They also tackle modern challenges in journalism — misinformation, AI-generated content, and the urgent need for verification under tight deadlines — and Deborah offers guidance on maintaining accuracy and trust in an increasingly fragmented media environment. Listeners can expect honest reflections, actionable career tips for young reporters, and an inside look at the demands and rewards of life on the beat.
