Suzie Explores

Suzie Explores is a podcast series focussing on the nature of creativity and curiosity. Bringing her unique perspective of the world of music and beyond, Suzie joins forces with a host of luminaries in the creative field to explore what it means to be an inspired human being in this world.
To explore ideas with Yo-Yo Ma was such an incredibly joyous experience! He is undeniably one of the greatest and most beloved cellists of all time, who has recorded and broadcast an incredible amount of classical repertoire, and is unafraid to embrace many other genres of music besides. He’s collaborated with Bobby McFerrin, Santana, Chris Thile, James Taylor, to name but a few. The list is endless, as is Yo-Yo’s thirst to experiment and explore new ideas in music and indeed life. During our conversation, we delve into the world of possibilities, non-transactional actions and what it means to have an authentic voice. We also pay homage to Arnold Lobel's children's books and Mr Rodgers’ Neighbourhood!
