"It's funny, because going back to when I was younger, I had this vision of becoming an artist, but when I put brush to paper and try to paint something, it was just never quite what I wanted it to be. So when I finally found this medium, that's when I was like, oh, my God, I found my craft. This is the true canvas that I needed to be working on."

I often wonder: could these moments in my childhood really be the beginning of my journey that eventually led me to launch this new podcast? Streaming now: the first episode of "music/Maker with Tyler Kline." In this solo show, Tyler discussed all the key waypoints in his life that formed his path as a broadcaster and person who works with audio for a living... and of course, what pushed him to start this new podcast.
