Michael Ptacin: Never Say No (within reason)

Episode 37 with Michael Ptacin

Michael Ptacin is a recent BSP Concert Artist, but actually someone we’ve known since meeting at a convention years ago. He’s got his hands in all sorts of stuff like musical theatre, sequencing & programming, administration and most recently audio video production. This all seems to stem from his willingness and excitement to try new things, accepting challenges and a loose professional motto to “Never say no...within reason”.

We discuss Michael’s motto in connection with his various activities and how they developed as well as a push for diversity awareness and inclusion within his projects and the percussion community as a whole.
