Ep 100 Luke Annesley and Davina Vencatasamy

The 100th episode is here!

Luke and Davina look back on the podcast - how it started out, where it has come to, what they have learned so far. They also go on conversational detours, considering their own perspectives on this profession, including current discussions about diversity, inclusion and race, along with the nature of music in music therapy, and how individual, as well as multi-faceted, this work is. What were the original intentions for the podcast? Who helped get it started? What's Luke's favourite episode? All will be revealed!

Thanks are also given to all those people who have helped with the podcast, including all the interviewees to date. 

More podcasts to come, but this was a moment to look back, reflect, and have an actual conversation. 

For those people who have been asking Luke, 'When will you be interviewed?', this is (sort of) an answer to that question.
