A podcast for oboists, bassoonists, and the people who love them
The only double reed-specific podcast, Double Reed Dish was created in December 2016 by co-founders Galit Kaunitz (oboe) and Jacqui Wilson (bassoon). Each episode features an interview with a prominent professional in the field and is intended to be enjoyed by double reed enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Powered by shine theory, Double Reed Dish seeks to celebrate all that is good and exciting in the world of double reed performance and pedagogy to create a supportive artistic community–and have a good time doing it!
