Hour 2
(Full disclosure: I was apprehensive about talking with Chely Wright. I had a mildly bad attitude about an artist seemingly past her sales prime using the revelation of her true self as a promotional tool for a comeback. Then I walked into the room and talked with Chely.... without prejudice and with respect. She answered every hard question directly. She never broke eye contact. I totally understand her journey now, and I adore her. I am so proud of this interview.)

Hour 3
(I have always been a fan of Mary Chapin Carpenter. She is my personal definition of a modern-day poet and philosopher. Then we nearly lost her several years ago to heart problems. I didn't think we'd ever get new music from her again. Surprise! She's made the most glorious album, "The Age of Miracles." I leapt at the chance to speak with her. We didn't just have a great interview, we connected. Our hearts touched. I found a kindred spirit in Mary Chapin.)
