The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Nathaniel Schooler, Kim-Adele Randall and Nishadi Ranasinghe discussed all things tech with Sharena Rice PHD- a neuroscientist, cybernetician and storyteller with a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Michigan.
According to Sharena Rice PHD, tech for good is transformative because it has the potential to help people be their best selves. She believes that if we demand that companies create products with this goal in mind, we can see a world where technology helps us instead of hinders us. Sharena sees potential for technology to improve our lives in many ways, but she is also quick to point out that if any one of the foundations that tech is built on (philosophy, science, and technology) is shaky, and the whole system falls apart. This is why she believes it’s important that we have a clear vision for how we want tech to improve our lives before allowing it to become a part of our everyday lives. Only by doing this can we avoid the pitfalls of tech addiction and ensure that tech is used for good. The shownotes can be found here.
