This week we delve back into the origin story of Danielle Ate The Sandwich - primarily, how she landed on her chosen moniker, and why she didn't think she was cool enough for to be called Danielle Ate The Pizza.
We also talk a bit about how we first met at the 2015 Los Angeles Ukulele Festival, and why only one of us remembers it.
And we discuss how Danielle is now attempting to transition into the world of comedy.
If you'd like to book a place on her upcoming songwriting masterclass "Life As A Songwriter" you can find more information and tickets here - but act fast, it starts in just a few days time!

This week is part one of my conversation with one of the OG's of the YouTube ukulele scene - Danielle Anderson, aka Danielle Ate The Sandwich!,
Next week we'll talk all about her origin story - how she got the name Danielle Ate The Sandwich, as well as her transition into the world of comedy. But today we focus on songwriting - particularly her 24 Album songwriting challenge, and the difficulties she faces as an artist whose life is seemingly settling down.
It's a really insightful conversation and Danielle has lots of wisdom to impart. If you'd like a place on her upcoming songwriting course "Life As A Songwriter" you can find more information here.

This week we're in conversation with Michela Consiglio, the founder of Ukulele Safari!
Michela shares how the Ukulele Community saved her life, and inspired her to combine her passion for the ukulele with her job as a safari guide - to create Ukulele Safari!
She also gives her unique perspective on the world, talks about her idea for a ukulele board game, how she put her neighbours' children through school by selling jewellery made out of old CDs, and asks why there's no good Google search results for "How do you get rid of a 5 tonne hippopotamus?"

This week I'm speaking to teacher, performer, and all-round ukulele great, Peter Luongo!
You may have seen Peter in the 2006 documentary The Mighty Uke, or you may have seen him performing as part of the Legacy Ukulele Ensemble. Or perhaps you know him best as James Hill's ukulele teacher.
Either way, the man is an absolute dynamo, and I was privileged to manage to get him to sit still(ish!) for about half an hour at the end of NaMM and have an in-depth conversation about everything from his thoughts on why it's important to teach the ukulele properly, to how he got started playing music, to his relationship with James Hill.
Peter is headed to the U.K. next week where he will be attending the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival, and also hosting a day-long retreat for ukulele teachers! Sadly I can't make it, but if you guys can please go and tell him I said hello!

This week I'm speaking to the brains behind the excellent All For Uke website/YouTube channel: Kevin Presbrey.
Kevin has been a recording artist - both as part of a band, and solo - since the early 2000s, and his music has appeared in hit TV shows on MTV, VH1 and more. He's also shared a stage with the Doobie Brothers and members of the band Train, as well as writing some terrific songs in the course of his long and illustrious career.
In this interview we talk about how a tongue-in-cheek video he posted called "The Prettiest Ukulele Song In The World" led to him becoming a full-time YouTube teacher. We also talk about how fatherhood has changed our perspective on work and music.

You may have seen Anne Reburn and her clones in some terrific YouTube cover videos on her channel (Mr. Sandman, with over 9 MILLION views is perhaps the most famous one!), but she also writes and records her own music, produces and directs her own videos, and has done voiceover work for a Netflix animated series.
She was also one of the first musicians that I met when I was living in the U.S.A. and the one of the first people to collab with me., so it was great to catch up with her when I was back in L.A. last month for NaMM.
