## Resource

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Seretan! What a joy this episode was to record. Ben’s the best. His new album, “Sunbeam of No Illusion,” with John Thayer is one of my early favorites so far this year. After talking about that, we get into all kinds of whimsy and fun with Arthur Russell, Sinai Vessel, Wham!, Clarence Carter, Celine Dion, Prince, Pet Shop Boys, and plenty more! Listen to all of Ben’s picks HERE Sunbeam of No Illusion Ben’s Website Ben on IG Songs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark. Whether it's a song we associate with our most important moments, something that makes us cry, the things we love that nobody else does, or our favorite lyrics, we all have our own personal soundtrack.
