MUSIC IS OUR HERO!
The MUSIC IS OUR HERO! Podcast is a creative hub where stories, artistry, and community collide. Each episode dives into conversations that inspire, empower, and spark new ideas—because art isn’t just what we make, it’s the community we build together.
Created and hosted by producer, engineer, DJ, and lifelong music advocate Drea Young, the podcast is dedicated to the indie community, as well as the people who bring it to life. With decades of industry experience—from graphic design to engineering in NYC to the live-event world—Drea brings an open-format approach, deep technical insight, and a genuine passion for supporting the people who keep indie arts and music alive. Her mission is to uplift, explore, and amplify community—one episode at a time.

Theresa Ratliff knew at a young age that she could sing, and music has been part of her life ever since. But it wasn’t until later in life that she began performing with bands and found a home in the festival community.
In this episode, Theresa shares how the festival community gives her a sense of purpose and helps shape the mission she is on today.
It’s a story of following what you love, finding your community, and sharing peace, love, wisdom, and music along the way.
