Life Changes Show with Filippo Voltaggio
Show Host
Filippo Voltaggio

Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!

A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.

In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.

The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.

“The Nouveau MId-Century Romance Songbook”

It was the yellow brick road that lead me to my crush on mid-century jazz standards. At age 7, while watching The Wizard of Oz and understanding the message of “somewhere over the rainbow,” I felt the the sky and my dreams open. I owe my a lot of my optimism to composer Harold Arlen. 
 
That same year I remember staying up past my bed time and sneaking in a viewing of the Billie Holiday bio pic Lady Sings The Blues.  When Abel Meeropol’s“ Strange Fruit” scratched my ears it ushered my soul to a depth that no seven year old should dive into.  In one year I fell in love with the brightest and darkest songs I’ve heard even to this day and a style, genre and period of music that most effortlessly connects to core of  who I am. I started taking voice lessons the following year and my favorite songs were those of Gershwin, Porter, Ellington, Strayhorne and the like. My favorite voices were Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sara Vaughn, Mel Torme, Dinah Washington and the singing of famous trumpeter, Chet Baker. The themes, melodies, chords, timelessness and sheer coolness of those early american songbook tunes were unparalleled. 
 
When a trombone fell from the heavens, into my hands and upon my lips it cherried my adoration for jazz and mid-century music.  I started penning my own valentine’s to songbook that formed me. I challenge myself everyday to create pieces that will pepper our somewhat cold zeitgeist with kiss of old fashioned fine romance.
