Concentrated: A Covid-19 Special

In light of what is going on in the world right now Beatie Wolfe wanted to create a selection of some of her favorite inspiring stories from her Orange Juice for the Ears guests to date about rising to adversity, finding balance within the chaos, reconnecting to what matters and weathering the many storms of life. Guest featured include: Allee Willis, Queen Cora, Walter Werzowa, Sea Shepherd Captain Peter Hammarstedt and Sara Sidner.

During this special you'll hear Beatie Wolfe in conversation with: CNN’s multiple award-winning global correspondent Sara Sidner; Sea Shepherd Captain & Board Member Peter Hammarstedt; Austrian sound inventor (of the ubiquitous Intel bong) & HealthTunes founder Walter Werzowa; author, producer, business owner & international drummer Queen Cora (with Prince for over 5yrs & Beyoncé for 3yrs) and Grammy/Tony/Emmy winning songwriter and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Allee Willis.

Orange Juice for the Ears with “musical weirdo and visionary” (Vice) Beatie Wolfe explores the power of music across Space, Science, Art, Health, Film & Technology by talking to the leading luminaries in each field from Nobel Prize winners to multi-platinum producers and hearing the music that has most impacted them, their “Orange Juice for the Ears”. Beatie Wolfe is an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a UN Women role model for innovation, and held an acclaimed solo exhibition at the V&A Museum.

Tracks played during this Orange Juice for the Ears compilation:

• “Rainbow Connection” by Kermit, a song that reminds Beatie Wolfe of Sara Sidner because of how they first connected at the LA Times NewStory festival
• “Think About Your Troubles” by Harry Nilsson (from the animated movie The Point), a song that reminds Beatie Wolfe of Sea Shepherd Captain Peter Hammarstedt
• “True Love Will Find You In The End” by Daniel Johnston, a track Beatie Wolfe most associates with Walter Werzowa
• “Purple Rain” (live at the Superbowl) by Prince, a track Beatie Wolfe most associates with Queen Cora as she was performing with him at this historic halftime show
• “(Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding, a track Beatie Wolfe most associates with Allee Willis as Allee was sitting on the dock of the bay when Redding’s plane crashed
• The show closes with the track Allee Willis chose to play at her memorial, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire, although sadly that time came much sooner than the world would have wished
