The Gould Standard, a podcast featuring stories from artistic heroes, just released their latest interview—with Dr. Ahmad Sarmast, founder of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music (ANIM). Whether you are familiar with or new to ANIM’s story, we strongly encourage you to listen; the interview touches on ANIM’s origins before detailing their perilous escape from Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, all while expanding on their mission to use music as a tool for education and healing. You can listen to the podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify, as well as on The Glenn Gould Foundation homepage.
