Talk Show Description
Welcome to Let’s Talk About The Music
Hello, I’m Shels L Pix Honeysuckle, and welcome to Let’s Talk About The Music (LTATM) — a live radio talk show centered on music, creativity, and the people who shape local and global scenes.
This isn’t just another music talk show. LTATM is a space for real, in-depth conversations about the stories behind the songs, the experiences that shape artists, and the role music plays in our lives. With both academic training and hands-on experience, I’ve spent years studying music as both an art form and a cultural force.
What the Show Is About
Every episode of Let’s Talk About The Music is a conversation.
Sometimes that conversation is with musicians.
Sometimes with industry professionals.
Sometimes it’s a focused discussion on a topic that matters.
What makes LTATM different is that guests aren’t treated as simple interview subjects — they become conversation partners. Together, we explore a topic chosen by the guest, looking at its history, influence, and relevance today before shifting into their personal journey and creative perspective.
This show is not about press cycles, tour announcements, or quick promo spots. Instead, LTATM focuses on meaningful themes such as:
the healing power of music
mental health and creativity
representation and inclusion in the industry
the human experiences behind the art
These conversations go beyond music — they explore the people who create it.

Background & Experience
I spent six years studying podcasting and broadcasting at KGRG FM and KGRG1, while earning my AAA in Business Management at Green River College. That foundation shaped how I approach the show — blending thoughtful storytelling with an understanding of the music industry.
I am continuing my education at Central Washington University (CWU), further expanding my work in media, broadcasting, and music-focused storytelling.
The Journey Forward
I’ve spent years shaping Let’s Talk About The Music into something intentional — a show that values depth over hype and conversation over noise.
As LTATM continues to grow, I’m exploring new ways to make the show more interactive, including expanded audience engagement and future live Q&A opportunities.
The journey is still unfolding, and I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s Talk About The Music:
A New Kind of Music Talk Show
Let’s Talk About The Music (LTATM) is a live, conversational, music-focused talk show featuring two to five guests per episode. While topics are always rooted in music, the format encourages open discussion, community engagement, and mutual support among artists and creatives.
Each episode typically runs two-hour and is designed to feel natural, thoughtful, and welcoming — more like a shared conversation than a traditional interview.
Guests are encouraged to choose a topic that resonates with them. If help is needed with topic selection or background research, LTATM host Shels is happy to assist.
