TRILLOQUY was honored by the Star Tribune this week, with a featured that named Garrett a "Classical Agitator" (in big print)! You can check out the digital version of the feature here. Huge thanks to Jenna Ross for spending so much time learning about TRILLOQUY, and for writing such a wonderful article.

When TRILLOQUY was a product of American Public Media, one of the integral members of the team was James Napoli. He's now moved on to a new position with another company, and he was gracious enough to make TRILLOQUY one of the very first projects he reported on in his new position. Huge shout out to James - you can check out the article here.

Last week, the folks at American Public Media asked me to write a short essay about my feelings concerning the recent attention racial equity is being given. Understanding that white people are easily shaken and turned off by words like "racist", I kept my thoughts on the friendlier side - check out the essay here. 

So this is the new TRILLOQUY website! I hope you'll pardon the dust as Scott and I continue to get everything set up. More to come!
