April 20, 2017: Mieka B/Ellen Herrick/Alissa Musto/Ungovernable Films

Alissa Musto performs live

This week, friend and Boston filmmaker Matt Martino joins us!

Though Mieka B is fairly early in her career, she's made great strides with an upcoming EP, several single releases, and a music video in the works. We talk all about this, what got her into music in the first place, and her dreams as a hip-hop artist.

Author Ellen Herrick has a wonderful story to share in her new book, "The Forbidden Garden." The second in her series starring the eclectic, whimsical, and hilarious Sparrow Sisters, the story came about through fan requests to see Sorrel Sparrow in her own adventure. We look at Sorrel's journey to try and save a Shakespearean garden that has defied efforts to restore it, and how its fate is linked to hers.

Singer-songwriter Alissa Musto is a strong advocate of music education, and in this interview, we talk about the work she's done to further this. A daughter of a musician, and we talk about all that she learned, both at home and on the road.

Dave Sullivan and Paul McAlarney of Ungovernable Films round out the show. This company produces some of the most intense, horrifying movies around, and we talk about how they push the envelope, recent release "The Ungovernable Force," and upcoming "The Streets Run Red."
