    Hero Radio: Stories Beyond the Music

    From the call to adventure, to the darkest moments of the abyss, to the triumphant return home, students from KAA’s Melodic Connections use the story archetype of the hero’s journey to tell the stories of prominent musicians and artists in their hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. Guests are interviewed by students at Melodic Connections, a music therapy studio for individuals with developmental disabilities, who use this podcast to journey with musicians they admire and make connections based on their shared love of music. Our students find common ground between their experiences in our community music therapy studio and the lives and stories of professional artists and musicians. Whether you play a starring role on stage, sing at a local hot spot, or enjoy visiting art museums, this podcast will connect you with interesting artists of all abilities.
