Brian Schreck is a saxophonist, music therapist, future funeral director, and damn fine human. His groundbreaking work recording the heartbeats of dying patients has helped open up conversations around expanding the connections between deceased people and the bereaved. Through music and audio, he strives to make dealing with loss and pain just a little easier. And maybe joyful.

And as an educator, he's teaching a variety of folks how to appreciate music just a little more. Todd sat down with JC to talk about dating, jazz, Twice Told Coffee House, tiny drums, pet peeves, and more...
