Paul: Behind the Scenes — a Chat-Musical Smackdown

What do Rachmaninoff, Mr. Rogers and Dr. Dre have in common? Find out in this episode - where we pull back the curtain...on Brain Stories, and go behind-the-scenes for an inside look at the original music, and the highly original man who composed it: Paul Swartzel. He's funny, irreverent, a brilliant musician, devoted husband, loving dad, and someone who lives with a mental illness. This episode chucks chronology straight out the narrative window; it's revelation through song. And Paul is a one-man Ode to Joy. Get your ears ready to dance. 

We release new episodes every two weeks through mid-April. The next episode will be out March the 5th. Ignore rumors to the contrary, even if we started them.
