For the first episode of the new year, I have one of my best friends, Shannon O'Hara. Shannon and I go back to high school, and we took part of our school's music department, being involved in choral groups and theatre.  Where I went into the music industry side, she went into music therapy.  She is currently a music therapy intern with The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine in New York City.  Listen to our conversation as we talk about music therapy as a whole, how it is used to help patients, how music can influence memory, and how Covid has shaped the music therapy field.
