Steve Schwartz (Art of Tea) and Starchild & The New Romantic

On today’s episode, Dairn sits down with Steve Schwartz, the Founder, CEO, and Master Tea Blender at Art of Tea. They have an incredibly insightful conversation about Steve's travels around the world, how he started hand mixing tea in his living room, and how he has shared his vision of what tea can bring to people all over the world. After the break, it’s a dive into the archive for a performance by Starchild & The New Romantic. Bryndon Cook, who records as Starchild, describes his music as “Champion Music for the Heartbroken.” Drawing equally on electro and R&B, with silky sheets of synth cascading over rubbery bass lines, each song spikes lithe vocal melodies with an undeniable twinge of sadness.
