In The Round

Full-circle storytelling of musicians and their music.

In the Round is dedicated to highlighting musicians on their artistic journeys. Whether they're local, regional, or touring coast to coast, they all have great stories to tell. We want to hear about the funny stories, the heartwarming stories, the lows, the highs, and the unexpected moments. Hosted by D (Diana Weishaar) who is also a musician, we dive in and get to know the artists behind the music, putting conversation at the forefront and encouraging listeners to fall in love with the music but even more so the people creating it. At the end of each episode, catch a clip of their performance live at Trilix Studio, and subscribe to the YouTube channel to see the full videos (youtube.com/@InTheRoundPodcast).
