About this episode
To mark Episode 150 of Caropop, we’re doing something different. My friend Steve Dawson— an awesome singer-songwriter who was my guest back on Episode 10, as well as my co-author on Take It to the Bridge: Unlocking the Great Songs Inside You—said he wanted to turn the tables and interview me for an episode. So here we go, with Steve probing me on what drove me to become a newspaper writer and, eventually, to launch Caropop. We discuss the importance of curiosity, the keys to interviewing celebrities, how my math-science brain may factor into my work, how Caropop became so music-focused, and why talking about creativity is more satisfying than talking about sales and careers. Paul McCartney, John Travolta and Cuba Gooding Jr. may make cameo appearances... (Photo by Todd Rosenberg)
