WBGO
Stacy Kent and Michael Bourne

On this episode of the Singers Unlimited podcast, Stacey Kent drops by the WBGO studios for a conversation with host Michael Bourne, and a live performance from Stacey and her band.

Vocalist Stacey Kent sings live and talks to Michael Bourne about how studying abroad in Germany led to a career in music on the latest episode of the Singers Unlimited podcast.

Produced by Billy Robinson for WBGO Studios.

Michael Bourne, who died on August 21, 2022, was a presence on the air at WBGO between the end of 1984 and the start of 2022 when he retired from full-time hosting duty. He is the host of the Singers Unlimited Podcast by WBGO Studios. Previously, he hosted the popular Singers Unlimited (1985-2022). He also hosted the equally popular Blues Break for several years. Michael is a senior contributor to Down Beat, with the magazine since 1969. Doctor Bourne earned a PhD in Theatre from Indiana University -- which comes in handy when he's a theatre critic for the WBGO Journal.
