Max Q from Peabody LAUNCHPad
Max Q is an interview podcast for anyone interested in or currently pursuing careers in the performing arts.Max Q is a rocketry term for the most stressful part of a rocket’s ascent. We focus on a similar, often difficult period for Peabody alumni – the first several years after graduation. Each episode we interview a recent graduate to discuss the challenges they have faced since being out of school, their different jobs, what they have learned, and how they have come to see their education differently.
Peabody LAUNCHPad office staff (Dr. Zane Forshee, Christina Manceor, and Robin McGinness) alternate hosting each episode. As part of the LAUNCHPad Office’s mission to help students and alumni forge satisfying and successful careers, we’re excited to share these conversations on possible paths to building varied, vibrant, and sustainable lives in the arts.
