Reasonably Spontaneous Conversation
Austin

Hello world it’s is me, Dennis.  In 2019, I reprised my talk show from 1979 in Austin.  Donna Cosper produced and directed these shows with brilliant lights from the Austin scene and taped at Austin Public’s studio.  Enjoy!

Reasonably Spontaneous Conversation – Austin

Dennis Tardan and musician and philosopher Brien Foster Allen have a Reasonably Spontaneous Conversation

A message from Brien: I’m a musician, a scientist, and a thinker. From a very young age, I’ve been captivated by the deepest underpinnings of our cosmos, and how they all connect.

As I’ve aged, I’ve developed my pursuits of science and art. I finished school with a degree in science and now I am pursuing an avid career in music. My hope is that I can leave whatever person I was just in contact with feeling more elevated than they previously felt prior to coming into contact with me.
