Awesome! Thanks for the reply! I'll have my people call your people. (My people are 11 years old, so this may fall through. I'm working on hiring some better help around here.)

I teach middle school choir in Texas, so I spend a lot of time with 6th grade boys. We spend a portion of every Friday rehearsal watching a video of something choral-music-related, and they're big fans of your virtual choirs ("Can we watch the guy floating around and conducting the videos again?!?!!")

Anyway, I would be remiss if I didn't ask these questions: What's your favorite super hero, and can we challenge you to a game of lines-and-spaces trashketball the next time you're in Dallas?

Hey! Thanks for doing this. So, The Newsroom is one of my favorite new tv shows. To get specific, the Bin Laden episode got a lot of mixed reviews and press (for the record, I absolutely loved it). What were/are your thoughts on that episode and what was it like filming it?

Unrelated -- if you ever see Aziz, let him know I owe him $5 for his special because his site accidentally gave it to me for free. It's a whole awkward thing.

Thanks for the answer, and I totally agree. Your character represented how most people felt that day, I think.

Sorkin was criticized for including "inane" subplots (Jim/Maggie etc) and kitschy humor in the script. I think it was necessary to keep the whole thing human. Thoughts?

I have a whole list on my school computer -- I'll send it to you.

For the most part it's Pentatonix, virtual choirs, The Sing-Off, some cool TedEd stuff including stuff about music and the brain and Imogen Heap's musical gloves, and other just plain cool videos about music.
