Bach Talk host Ron Klemm sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning music critic, author and educator Tim Page. Looking back on a storied career with The New York Times and The Washington Post, Tim reflects on the golden era of arts journalism and how a childhood love for recordings turned into a lifelong passion for music commentary.

Beyond the newsroom, Tim opens up about his journey with neurodiversity, navigating adulthood before discovering his autism diagnosis at age 45, and his remarkable recovery from a near-fatal brain injury in 2015. It is a deeply moving conversation on resilience, mortality and what it truly means to write and live with purpose.
