What's a performer to do without a stage -- without a live audience? How will months of social distancing change the nature of the performer-audience relationship?
During this time of social distancing, the Hunkered Down Podcast will talk to actors, musicians, singers, and performance artists -- of all sorts -- about how they are continuing to practice their craft during the pandemic and what this unique social moment is revealing about being an artist and performer in the United States. Our guests will share their concerns for our society through samples of their craft.

Tim Goplerud: A Pre-COVID Talk at The Dead Poets Bar
Reaching back a bit for this conversation with music composer Tim Goplerud. We got together several months before the COVID19 pandemic and talked about this man's delightful, joyful, and can't-get-it-out-of-your head music -- but in a really good way.

Wade Ripka's Multiple Musical Personas
The week before Wade Ripka was on the New York Lawn Bowling Green in Central Park with his small band playing for the "Old Timers Day" Tournament. It was the first paying gig he and his musicians had had for over seven months. He was on the Green a week later -- this time bowling -- and after our game I sat down with this talented and multifaceted musician to catchup on how his career is progressing and his new interests. This talented guitarist and band leader and music transcriber -- always has a new interest -- right now it is the Turkish lute -- Bağlama.
Wade is a wild and loving cat and I am glad to call him a friend.
