The recordings consist primarily of episodes of the interview-style podcast "Takin' A Walk" hosted by media personality Buzz Knight. Knight interviews a variety of guests about their personal and professional connection to music. In addition, the collection includes episodes of "Music Saved Me," an interview-style podcast hosted by Lynn Hoffman and produced by Knight.
