Lisa Mathews has got an Artist Interview this Saturday morning with author and composer Michael Hearst, and she’ll be chatting about his latest release Songs For Unconventional Vehicles, a collection of miniature songs about some of the strangest cars, trains, planes, submersibles, dirigibles, rockets and more. Released as a companion to Hearst’s children’s book, Unconventional Vehicles, this full-length album features such vehicles as underwater battery-powered scooters, solar-powered race cars, pizza delivery drones, and more.

Inspired by Michael Hearst, this morning’s show is full of songs about things us humans use to get from here to there, and move about our planet.

Enjoy, and please follow us on Instagram and like us on Facebook.
