Preserving Halifax's Athletic Legacy with Dan Powell
16:33
D
1:10Dan PowellGUEST
And as we were talking about traveling around, going to other places, there's always that connection to Halifax and athletes in athletic performance.
D
1:19Dan PowellGUEST
So our history is very rich here, and the Hall of Fame's goal is to preserve that, preserve our athletes.

And speaking of the future, how can people get involved? Are you looking for volunteers or people that want to get involved in the Hall of Fame or whatever it may be, the camps?
Where ‘The Daily’ Gets Its Music
M

This is Middle Distance.
D
7:24Dan PowellGUEST
[Middle Distance] So the main instrument you're hearing in Middle Distance is a tongue drum.
D
7:41Dan PowellGUEST
It's called a tongue drum because the individual notes are cut out of the metal in the shape of a tongue, basically, and it provides this really nice, warm, tonal sound.
D
7:53Dan PowellGUEST
It's particularly well-suited for podcast music because it has a rich sound, but there's not a lot going on frequency-wise in a way that would clash with vocals here.
D
8:06Dan PowellGUEST
There's also an electric bass and some very gentle synth and woodwind drones that enter in.
D
8:14Dan PowellGUEST
But this is another one of those reflective, meditative, hmm, let's ponder for a moment type of tracks.
M
9:57Michael Simon JohnsonPRODUCER
Amazing.
