S5 E5: Pin Chen

Episode Summary

Violinist Pin Chen chats with P-Mo about the need for music education in our curricula and why the arts must be funded. It's not enough for us to only focus on math and sciences - music and the arts are just as important to the development of our brains. Oh, Pin and P-Mo also chat foreign policy. Taiwan should be recognized as an independent country.

Episode Notes

P-Mo and Pin Chen begin their conversation about music and education. The brain thrives when it is fed music - it's scientifically proven. The conversation then morphs into the overall value of the arts, what's at stake in the 2020 election, and an interesting discussion on presidential politics and foreign policy. The episode ends with a touch of Hollywood. Politics, education, music, the arts, foreign policy and acting ... how did we get so much covered in a little more than one hour of talking???
