Talia Schlanger joins host Stephen Kallao

For years, Talia Schlanger interviewed musicians about their craft as the host of World Cafe. And then she quit her job to pursue the career she spent so much time talking about. Her debut album is called Grace for the Going. On the World Cafe, Talia joins us to talk about the journey from radio host to recording musician and performs in front of a live audience.
