PODCAST Change Your Tune
After five seasons exploring career transitions from classical music to landscape architects, master furniture craftsmen, counsellors, personal trainers, software developers, lawyers, heritage seed growers and much more - I’ve taken the podcast in a new direction from 2026.
And there’s a new co-host, Emergency Doctor turned Conductor Ingrid Martin. You’ll find Ingrid interviewed in previous seasons and for full transparency, she’s also my wife.
We’ve turned our combined gaze onto the the 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡 side of orchestras and classical music. Join us to explore what helps people and culture thrive and where systems, hierarchy and tension get in the way.

THESE KIND HUMANS ASKED GOOD QUESTIONS ON:
✦ ConnectCurateCreate Listeners said “Thank you for your passion and vulnerability. You’re a treasure and an inspiration, Susan Eldridge!”
✦ The Entrepreneurial Musician
✦ Herstory
✦ iCadenza Listeners said “Wow, you really hit a home run with me on this podcast. So many things I've pondered over the years were covered in this interview. Susan's comments were so thoughtful and inspiring. Jennifer's questions were so probing and spot on, in my opinion her best interview to date.”
✦ Creative Piano Teaching Listeners said“Wow, this interview was fantastic! I totally came from the school of “if you don’t make it as an orchestral player you’ve kind of failed”. As Susan says this is so unrealistic! Other points about having a grad degree in performance but not being able to play something for family off the top of your head (me!me!) and of course having it drilled into you to follow the dots TO THE LETTER OTHERWISE YOU HAVE FAILED. I loved her stance on transferable skills and loved the point about music training the mind. Great podcast!!”
