Join host Laura Dickinson-Turner and an ever-expanding lineup of guests for an ongoing series of conversations that stem from the possibly unanswerable question: “how do you define talent?” This podcast is a place to collect the stories we tell ourselves about talent, so we can explore the intersections and overlaps in people’s perspectives, as well as where and how they differ, and how those perspectives shape the way we view ourselves, each other, and the world(s) we constantly create together.
((FANFARE OF TRUMPETS)) Today's guest on Defining Talent is the dynamo of a multi-hyphenate artist, Montgomery King. Montgomery just finished their second year of the MFA in Television, Film, and Theatre/Writing Option program at Cal State LA, and in addition to the scripts and writing projects they've been working on, they also appeared onstage in Something Rotten and Macbeth. Throughout their life, they have always been invested and interested in working in many creative areas and exploring the intersections of narratives as well as the intersections of mediums.

Andrew Lyndon Knighton is today's guest: tenured professor of English at Cal State LA (and current Associate Chair of the Department of English), an appreciator of jazz and solitude and public transit and opportunities for reflection, someone who embraces the analog in our increasingly digital world, and a tremendously insightful - and delightfully sardonic - human being.
