Michael Orland

Michael Orland is a musician and producer. For 16 seasons, Michael was the musical director for American Idol. We had a chat about the behind the scenes schedule and pressures of the show, the heartbreak of watching kids you've grown to love get voted off, and how the Broadway world has opened our eyes to so many truths. Enjoy the chat!

My name is Eric McClenahan. In the poem "The Blind Men and the Elephant," 6 blind men are asked to describe an elephant and they all just describe it based on the one body part they grab first. This podcast is my journey of attempting to see "the whole elephant" in life, one conversation at a time.
