On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a text Navigating the complex journey of converting to Islam often begins with a poignant internal struggle: should you keep your newfound faith private or share it with loved ones? In the debut episode of Revert Corner, we explore the delicate art of balancing personal conviction with external expectations. Through the touching story of a young Filipino man, we uncover how early disclosure of his conversion posed challenges and highlight the personal and intimate nature of one’s relationship with Islam. This episode promises to guide you through the wisdom of discretion and the spiritual enrichment that comes with it. Reactions to conversion can vary dramatically within familiar circles, as our hosts Carl and Matt personally unveil. Hear Carl recount how his father’s surprising conversion made his journey smoother, while Matt shares the intuitive support he received from his mother when he followed his brother’s path to Islam. These heartfelt narratives shed light on the emotional rollercoaster of revealing a new religious identity to those closest to us, offering solace and insight for anyone embarking on a similar path. The digital era brings its unique set of challenges and opportunities for new Muslims. We compare the journey of past reverts to those today, examining the ease of access to information and the dual-edged sword of social media. From battling misinformation to finding support online, this discussion underscores the importance of patience and self-compassion. Join us as we wrap things up with an invitation to continue this dialogue, exploring the ongoing journey of faith in future episodes.…
