Ep. 92: Hi, Kermit!
Guests: Stephanie Epstein, Heidi Swedberg
Hosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown
We’re taking a break from the Pandemic to talk about ukuleles and music therapy. And I guess we said their name three times on the show, because we have Stephanie Epstein, president of the Ukulele Kids Club charity. And and also joining us is regular guest Heidi Swedberg, performer extraordinaire. And did you know that Kermit is the secret name of Heidi’s wrist cast? Come along and learn all about the healing power of the ukulele.
