In this episode of SoundLore we present a conversation with Dr. Daniel Reed on the eve of his retirement from Indiana University and our department. Guest hosting this episode is, me, Jeremy Reed, SoundLore producer, and occasionally a joked-about long lost Reed family member. Over the course of this intimate conversation we discussed shifts in ethnomusicology, Bloomington, and Dr. Reed's own personal health throughout his career. While this chapter with the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology is ending, you’ll hear about exciting ideas and new directions for Dr. Reed shortly on the horizon. Thank you, Dr. Reed, for your dedication to us and to our discipline.
