034: Tenacity in the Music Industry and Creativity in the Business of Yoga

Catalyst: A Creative Industries Podcast

Catalyst is a Creative Industries podcast, from Chapman University. Each episode features Chapman students who have completed a Podcasting course through the Center for Creative and Cultural Industries at the university. Students who had no podcasting experience or technical ability in the genre before taking the course were able to contribute all the segments to Catalyst this season with the goal being that they will take this ‘hands-on’ experience and carry it over to the launching of their very own series. Each episode of season 5 consists of two segments, with each segment featuring a different interview by one or more CCI students, who explore different aspects of the Creative and Cultural Industries.

This week in segment one “The Pod”, Sylvie Messing and her partner Allison Wu interview Ted Davis, a Chapman Alum who is working in the music industry in a multitude of ways. First and foremost a musician, Ted has also approached the industry as culture writer, magazine editor, Pitchfork contributor. Sylvie and Ali dive into his unique entry into the world of music, his time at Chapman, and where he hopes to go in the future.

In segment two Kathryn Bernhardt and Jillie Herrold zoom with fellow Chapman student Kosha Rakholia who is also a Yoga Instructor and the President of the Yoga Bar at Chapman. Learn the ways in which Kosha has discovered that the creativity she experiences in yoga contributes to all aspects of her life including business ideas and how she learned to be flexible in different ways due to Covid-19.
