Loki Karuna shares his thoughts on the recent legal situation between Ana Netrebko and The Metropolitan Opera, chats with Michael Redmond about the music of his late father, and encourages unity, once again, between Black and Jewish communities in light of a Jamie Foxx social media post. 

Educators in Florida are expected to teach students that slavery was beneficial to many Black people; Loki responds and connects this issue to the arts. Loki chats with Luke McEndarfer, Artistic Director and CEO of the National Children's Chorus, and shares his ideas on the challenge of recording agreements to living composers. 

Loki highlights a potential challenge for equity-centered arts organizations in light of a recent decision by the Supreme Court, dialogues with Laura Colgate of the Boulanger Initiative, and offers a "peak behind the curtain" in the struggle between orchestras and new music. 

Loki Karuna responds to Joshua Jones' claims of racism from the Kansas City Symphony (as published in The Spotlight KC), interviews Darren Isom from The Bridgespan Group, and offers his latest example of "enjoying your headache". ​

Loki Karuna chats with Kiana Corley about her upbringing in a so-called classical household and how it led her toward a career as a singer/songwriter at the intersection of folk and soul. Loki also responds to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's upcoming "Montgomery and the Blacknificent 7" concert, and speaks to the importance of decolonizing the way we market and present ourselves to the music industry, and to the world.

Loki also addresses the Supreme Court's ruling on Affirmative Action, and speaks to his experiences and opinions on the government's failure to offer student load relief. 

Na'Zir McFadden is the Assistant Conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and joins Loki to unpack his trajectory to the podium, his plans for the future, and his thoughts and ideas on expanding orchestra audiences. Loki reads from the Lotus Sutra and explains the meaning of his new name, and offers an extremely personal look into his life in the weekly TRILLOQUY. 

Loki (formerly known as Garrett McQueen) speaks with cellist Abel Selaocoe about Africa, his travels as a musician, and the future he sees for so-called classical music. Loki offers his opinions on the intersection of Juneteenth and classical music programming, and highlights America's fundamental sin as a direct contributor to on-stage representation today.

Damian Norfleet and Laura Kaminsky of Ensemble Pi chat with Garrett about one of their recent musical projects inspired by banned books, and Garrett encourages "turning poison into medicine" in the weekly TRILLOQUY.
