Unequal Temperament
Unequal Temperament with Tim Long creates open, challenging, and entertaining conversations about issues that artists are facing today, especially artists of color.
It is a response to the many difficult concerns in the current live arts industries. In this new era of the 20’s, we have the opportunity to go deeper into dialogue with each other, but many people are afraid to speak up in fear that they won’t know everything or they will say something wrong. This podcast is all about being ourselves and enjoying the journey while bringing exposure to artists and topics outside of the establishment. Our conversations highlight each guest’s own intersectionality and make space to explore sensitive topics respectfully with a healthy dose of joy and humor.
Timothy Long, our host, is a sought-after conductor and pianist of Mvskoke/Creek and Choctaw descent.
