Spirituality Adventures - Ben Wendt

Ben Wendt is a high energy producer of multiple creative projects. His newest album release is a punk rock concept album with his band The Way Way Back entitled “Baggage or You’re Never Going to Leave It All Behind.” One of my favorite songs from that album is “Kintsugi” which is the Japanese artistic process of repairing broken pottery, a beautiful metaphor for this album. Ben is also the podcast host for Ope! Radio which is one of the best ways to discover some fantastic music from Kansas City and surrounding areas. He is also co-owner of the RINO, an event space in North Kansas City. Ben and I enjoyed talking about creativity and spirituality in this episode.

Spirituality Adventures- Calvin Arsenia - Part 2

I had the privilege of interviewing Calvin Arsenia, a Kansas City based musician, singer, songwriter, and performer. He also started a podcast in 2020 with his friend, Comedian Justin Randall. Calvin grew up in the church and was a worship leader in his early years. He is extraordinarily talented and unique. While he plays several instruments, his primary instrument is the harp. He has also spent time in classical vocal training. What’s amazing about Calvin is his ability to brilliantly embody multiple musical genres. His music videos are multilayered works of art and so are his performances. In my first interview with Calvin, we talk about his podcast, We Were Christian Kids. In this episode we talk about his musical career and he plays his song "Cantaloupe".
