Special guest this week! Got to chat with Mike McHargue (better known as Science Mike) and had him bring his science knowledge to the topic of music.  We chatted about having open and honest discussions about faith, what your brain is doing when you listen to music, left brain vs. right brain inaccurate stereotypes, being creative and also being able to handle your business side as artists, merits and problems with the idea of the “tortured artist”, the links between a sexual climax and the climax at the end of a symphony, and a lot more!

 

Check out his brand new book, Finding God in the Waves, here

Also be sure to check out his two podcasts, The Liturgists and Ask Science Mike.
