This week’s Contagious Podcast, with hosts Chris Rennirt and Lien Mya Nguyen Oost, features songwriter, recording artist, and filmmaker, Samantha Dudley (aka Kristina). For a candid interview, with all the latest about all Kristina is doing, look no further! Even a thunderstorm, power outages, and technical difficulties can’t keep this show from going on!

What are the inspirations for Kristina’s songs? What’s the latest about her new single “Lost Child”? Where can we find all of Kristina’s songs and all she’s doing? What are songs are currently in the works, in the queue for the future? And what advice does she have for aspiring singers and songwriters, building an audience and developing your “brand,” and juggling the roles of being a mom and doing it all too?

Just as important in her role as a filmmaker, what are the many roles Kristina has working behind the scenes with Cut 2 the Chase Productions–those we don’t see that make all the difference? Does she have plans for more songs in future films, beyond Payton’s Burden, and what’s the latest about a music video in the works? And, of course, lover of creepy crawlies, Chris Rennirt, asks the question we all want to know! What does Kristina think about her husband Chase’s menagerie of exotic pets to rival a zoo, and which pet is her favorite? The answer might surprise you! Finally, and perhaps, best of all, Samantha treats us to an awesome, acapella version of her latest song “Lost Child.” With all that and a lot more, this is another episode not to miss…and maybe watch again!
