Takin' A Walk - Music History with Buzz Knight

Music Saved Me is the podcast where inspiring music icons, emerging artists and healing voices share the moments music changed their lives. Hosted by Lynn Hoffman, the Music Saved Me podcast brings you personal stories of musicians who were transformed by the power of music.

Every episode traces an artist's journey: a band's journey through breakup and reinvention, an indie music story of hard-won discovery, a viral music success that changed everything, or the song that got someone through their lowest point. Along the way, Lynn explores healing through music, and the surprising ways music and emotional healing connect, including music's growing role in mental health.

Lynn brings warmth and curiosity to every conversation, spotlighting musicians who give back, nonprofits like Musicians On Call doing meaningful work, and the inspiring music icons who remind us why music matters.

Guests include Trey Lewis, Brad Wolfe, Jon Lampley, John Beltzer, Riley Smithson and Antoinette Costa.
