Show Notes
This week I’m joined by traverso superstar and podcaster Darina Ablogina, fresh off the stage from her performance at the Zamus festival in Köln, to chat all things flute, art, social awareness, identity, burnout and wine.
Enjoy the lovely ASMR background noise of an ongoing concert through the walls.

Certain classical musicians cosplay as liberal to benefit from queer spaces, and get found out by their inevitable support of Israel.
A prevalent stereotype exists of classical musicians, particularly singers, that they’re all big fat lads with viking horns. However beauty standards have never been higher in the industry, and nor have eating disorders.
