Song of the Soul Interview-Steve HazellThis interview was thoughtfully prepared. I found Steve's responses to be wonderfully anecdotal and insightful! And of course, the stories within his music are captivating, as always. Such a treat! | ||

Chippewa Valley IndivisibleGreat conversation with Mark about Chippewa Valley Indivisible's grassroots effort to reunite our communities and rebuild a government that works for everyone. I really enjoyed the values discussion we had and the deeper spiritual connection that pulls us toward the good. It was exciting to talk about a life commited to activism and creating a world with everyone included and no one left out. And, most importantly, it is really great to hear Patti Smith's People Have the Power making a comeback to inspire another generation as she "commits her dream" to those just joining the fight. | ||
Episode airing 2/25/25Thank you Mark, for a warm and inviting interview. It felt much more like two folks just talking - catching up with each other after all those years. That is thanks to your interview style - friendly, gentle, and carefully researched questions. The opportunity to talk about my work across a 30+ year span of recorded material was enlightening for me as well. Why did I write that song?! Simply because I had to, but you made me think deeper than that. Thank you Mark! And may you and your program have many more years of great conversations. | ||

Dad's interviewThank you so much for posting this interview. I know that Dad (Joe Elder) would have appreciated this. And for his family, it's always wonderful to hear his voice again. | |
Joe ElderWhat a fantastic interview. I loved learning about the history of UW Madison and their LGBT studies! I also didn't know Joe Elder went to Harvard and taught at Oberlin! | ||
Wow and thank you, Daniel!One way I've been taking care of myself is by looking for joyful things to listen to and avoiding direct references to Trump. So I started by listening to the most recent song of the soul interview, then move to the rebroadcast of the interview with Joe Elder. Finally, I decided to take the plunge and listen to this one. And it was joyful! I'm allowed to not be consumed by fear, and there are things I can do, and there are things I can prepare myself for - without being despondent. Imagine that! I will pass this interview around as much as I can. | ||
