The first answer comes from documentary photographer, Tom Rankin. He's based in North Carolina and is the director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. Tom was a joy to interview because his take on his work and art were so deep, not some kind of affectation-- just very real and very deep.
The second answer comes from Josh Nye, the singer/songwriter and guitarist for the band, D Street. Josh was a lot of fun to talk with because I am always interested in the creative process-- why do people do what they do and how do they do it? Josh's answers didn't disappoint at all.
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Beth Shafer offers the 3rd answer. She was incredibly interesting to talk with and has some remarkable goals and intentions with her music-- it's a safe bet that she'll get wherever she decides to head!
93-year-old painter and teacher Ralph Bagley offers the final answer. This is one of my favorite interviews of all time. You know the old worn joke of "I laughed, I cried?" Well I definitely did both with Mr. Bagley. This man is a treasure in the truest sense.
Hope you enjoy and I welcome any feedback. Hide full description

Review of A Deeper Well: Public radio quest answers
I love the fact that you allow your guests time to develop their answers. You realize that they have the most important voice in the interview and are not afraid to let them shine. This allows us to get a deeper sense of them as artists and as people. They were all interesting and enjoyable, but I must say, I think Mr. Bagley broke my heart just a little bit. Thank you for this glimpse into such a lovely heart.
