Rikki talks with Scott Newman of the Jingle Jank Podcast for a look back at holiday songs from Boy Bands, Diva's & honorable mentions of the 90s. They may not agree on some songs & some artists, but they had a lot of fun talking Christmas music from this decade.

Joe Burgstaller may seem like a perfectly normal guy who just happens to have been playing trumpet since he emerged from the womb. But do not be fooled, dear listener. Something is clearly amiss. (See: Joe's music videos, particularly the video we talk about in this episode which took 26 trips through a car wash to get juuust right.) Perhaps it's all of the lip pursing. Or maybe there's something in the brass? Whatever it is has given him a case of hyper-creativity. In this episode, Joe teaches all about arranging music--a creative feat that requires you to commune with dead composers across time.

In this episode of Pathways, host Adam Wolf meets with horn legend Marty Hackleman. They discuss his time in the Vancouver Symphony, National Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Canadian Brass and Empire Brass. He also shares his thoughts and strategies as a teacher, as well as a heartfelt statement about the most recent chapter in his career.
