Do you know where Petoskey, Michigan, is? Well, you will soon. George goes \u2018Inside the Huddle\u2019 with Chris Ludwa, the Artistic Director of the Bay View Music Festival, the longest continuously operating chamber music festival in the United States, which is in northern Michigan. We talk about the unique place that is Bay View, why this festival\u2019s Pay To Sing program is different from the others, and what the less glamorous parts are of running a summer music festival...\n\nThen, it\u2019s \u2018Chalk Talk\u2019. Australian comedian Jim Jeffries was on the podcast from The Nerdist platform last week, talking about his career, including his schooldays training as a singer, and boy, did he have some choice words about opera. You\u2019ll hear that clip, plus George's take on it...\n\nAnd but of course you get all your opera headlines and our hot takes on them in \u2018The Two Minute Drill\u2019...\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/OBSCHI1/
