   Wendy Bevan and Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes on "Alone with the Unknown," Cinematic Pop, and Pandemic Projects

   In this episode of the Sweet Song Podcast, host Kristi York Wooten sits down singer-violinist Wendy Bevan to pull back the curtain on her latest collaboration with Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes, Alone with the Unknown. Rhodes chimes in with his "Sweet Song" and the pair reveal when a pandemic-induced pivot birthed their massive 52-track ambient project Astronomia, how that massive undertaking forged a shared sonic language, and how they channeled classic film noir, Scott Walker, and David Lynch to create an album steeped in dark glamour.

   JOHNNYSWIM on Honest Songwriting, "Drunks," Sacred Spaces, and Why Music Brings People Together: Episode 31

   Amanda Sudano Ramirez and Abner Ramirez of JOHNNYSWIM talk about life in motion—parenting four kids, touring, and opening their musical One Day in London—while reflecting on the songs that best reveal who they are. At the center of it all is a big idea: honest songs last longer, and music can create real communion between strangers. In this episode, they open up to Sweet Song Podcast host Kristi York Wooten about the emotional and creative thread running through their top-streaming 2016 album, Georgica Pond, the family memory of Donna Summer's hit "MacArthur Park" at the 2026 winter Olympics, and why their work keeps circling back to faith, grief, joy, and relationships.
