LAS VEGAS – Every week, the PLSN Newsletter features a link to a podcast conducted by LD-at-Large columnist Chris Lose, which he’s been doing since the NAMM 2020 show in Anaheim. But in March, April and May, Lose has gone into Covid lockdown podcast production overdrive. Since it would take more than a year of newsletter links to include them all, we’re providing a full list of the podcasts, each packed with ideas, insights, anecdotes, advice and inspiration from top creatives in our field.
Commenting on the podcasts, Lose noted that he is “doing so many to point out just how important it is to reach out to our fellow compadres in times of isolation. I want to highlight the importance of human interaction, association and conversation when we are unable to interact socially.
“I am reaching out to people that I already know and discovering people that I have wanted to meet,” Lose added. “Please don’t let isolation prevent you from meeting new people and learning new things. This is my way of adapting to new circumstances and thriving under restrictions.
“The people that I have contacted have uplifted my spirit and continue to break up the monotony of isolation,” Lose continued. “I am equally thankful to the people who are willing to take an hour to chat with me as I am to PLSN for providing a platform that gives them a voice.”
