YIP Podcast

This episode brings the melodious voice of Olivia Kissel to your very own living room! Or car...or iPod...or what-have-you...anyway, she's awesome! You're going to love her! Tammy relays some shocking (SHOCKING) news to me (you all probably knew about it ages ago...I'm always the last to know!), I recommend some music and Tammy talks about some super cool upcoming events!

Note: I interviewed Olivia in February of this year (2011) and since then Zafira (her troupe) has disbanded to pursue adventures as soloists. :-)

The super chill Soto talked to YIP about his music, past and present, creating his own record label and artist rights. Mary shares some of what she's listening to right now, Tammy does the Around Town thing, and both of them act rather silly. It's nice to be back! :-)

If you like people who tell it like it is then you'll love this episode's guest: Jessica Bellydance!! She's known in the Central Florida area for hosting charity events and being awesome, and soon you'll find her in Portland, OR...because she's moving! (Muy triste!!) During our chat with Jessica she shared her outlook on dance and life, many words of wisdom, and her dance plans for the future! Mary struggles to stay awake on very little sleep (which is the ONLY reason my words were slurring by the end!) and Tammy regales us with a list of awesome up-coming events!
