This Little Light
Hosted by Flea
Pilot produced, recorded and edited by me

Hosted by Flea, founding member and bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, This Little Light is a podcast about falling in love with music. Flea interviews musical guests from all genres to discuss the teachers who guided them, the influences that inspired them, and how the lessons they learned as young musicians have shaped their creativity, resilience, and careers. Guests range from legends to rising stars, and include Rick Rubin, Patti Smith, Thundercat Margo Price, and Cynthia Erivo. The podcast is produced by Cadence13 and Parallel, with proceeds benefiting the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that Flea co-founded in 2001.

I was approached by the team at Parallel about producing this podcast early in the production podcast, and I ended up flying to Los Angeles to record the pilot episode myself. Ultimately, it proved hard to produce a podcast like this from across the country, but I love this show, and I’m proud of the part I got to play in helping it get off the ground.
