March begins with podcast crossover extravaganza #2! We are so excited to welcome Dylan Maddix and Cait Nishimura, hosts of The Band Room Pod to talk with us. They each bring amazing insight from the eyes of a performer, educator, composer, and podcast host into this episode.

We talk with Dylan and Cait all about how The Band Room Pod began and expanded to include two incredible hosts, the variety of guests they bring on their show, and we all talk (and agree heavily!) on the importance of DEI work in music education. Tune in to hear their thoughts of the future of music ed and some of the exciting projects they both have coming up!.

And if you recognize Cait’s name, yes - she was a guest early on in our first season of the podcast!

Transcripts are available for every episode thanks so our team of interns and can be found https://www.diversifythestand.org/transcripts!
