In this episode, Pamela speaks with Michael Kaiser, who served as President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., from January 2001 through August 2014. During his tenure, he expanded the educational and artistic programming for the United States’ center for the performing arts, oversaw a major renovation effort of most of the Center’s theaters, and led the nation in arts management training. In honor of his accomplishments, the Board of the Kennedy Center named him President Emeritus in 2014.  Pamela also speaks with Idyllwild Arts '22 Film & Digital Media graduate, Ella Garnes, who is now working on her BFA in Film & Television at Columbia College Chicago.
