Chapter 197 - "A Desire To Help Encourage Weird Music" ...as read by Jeremy Hunt and Caiden Withey from Qoheleth

This week I'm excited to have Jeremy and Caiden from noise/art rock band Qoheleth on the show. The group has released cassettes, VHS tapes, a radio, zines, toys, and started their own record label to promote music that is pushing the boundaries of art. At the end of 2019 the band released, what in my opinion is a masterpiece, Mark It Well, All Roads End in Death.

Chapter 191 - "Everybody Had Our Back" ...as read by Tedd Cookerly of EDL

Tedd Cookerly joins the podcast this week to set the record straight on Ever Day Life's history. The band had the respect of their peers and the support from their label to go and be who they were. They were political and  abrasive that hurt their success in the Christian industry. They had people rooting for their success, no matter the challenges that came their way. I appreciate Tedd talking with me and bearing his soul. 


----------
Chapter 191 Music:

Every Day Life - "Let It Ride"

Every Day Life - "Transcend"
