February 22, 2024 David Warren: Gators, Swamp Bodies, and the Tampon Man of South Georgia
Episode 21

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with location manager and scout David Warren.

Dave has spent years finding the perfect spots for film and TV productions across Georgia, and the stories that come with that job are unlike anything else. From calling gators out of the Okefenokee Swamp on a golf cart with a stick, to accidentally setting off a police search in Augusta after a prop body got left in a swamp, to driving the Florida Georgia state line with a model of a giant tampon trying to talk strangers into letting him use their property, Dave has seen the wild and colorful corners of the South that most people never get near. This week on Atypical Daydream, writer and director Jacob Vaughan travels through Mexico where he found his inner compass.

February 15, 2024 Farmer Dave Scher: China Grove in a Casino and a Love Letter in the Seine
Episode 20

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with multi-instrumentalist and Beachwood Sparks founding member Farmer Dave Scher.

Dave takes us through a life spent deep in the music, from the early days opening for the Black Crowes on a US tour that found itself on the road in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, to a band implosion in New Mexico that accidentally led to one of the best moments of the trip. Along the way, he also finds time for a perfect day off in Paris and a love letter thrown into the Seine. Dave's stories reveal what happens when you stay on the road long enough for the road to surprise you.

February 08, 2024 Jacob Vaughan: Todo Es Posible: Hitchhiking, Avocado Towns, and the Letter on the Back of a Photo
Episode 19

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with writer and director Jacob Vaughan.

In 1999, Jacob sold everything he owned, gave away the rest at a party, and crossed the border into Mexico with a backpack and no plan to come back. What followed was a journey guided almost entirely by instinct, a willingness to say yes, and a photograph with a letter scrawled on the back that opened a door he never knew was there. Jacob's story is about what happens when you fully commit to the unknown and just let the river take you.

February 01, 2024 Robert Bell & Josh Caldwell: The Mormon Western That Never Was
Episode 18

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell and his longtime writing partner Robert Bell recount a road trip across the American West that was supposed to produce a screenplay and produced almost nothing of the sort.

Armed with a laptop, a Ford Mustang, and a plan to write a Mormon Western while driving through Utah and Idaho, the two set off on a week-long loop through some of the most beautiful and strange corners of the country. What they actually encountered along the way was something else entirely, and the story has never left them.

November 30, 2023 Ed Hamell & Tyler Watson: Touring With Your Kid and the Sicily Cat Situation
Episode 17

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with songwriter and punk rock poet Ed Hamell of Hamell on Trial and clown, writer, and Vegas performer Tyler Watson.

Ed shares how he built a 30-year touring life around his son, logging 300,000 miles and 16 cross-country trips together since the kid was six years old, and what that kind of road life gives a child that nothing else can. Then Tyler Watson takes us to a Sicilian ranch house where he and his new wife were trying to decompress at the end of a two-month honeymoon, only for the quiet retreat to take a deeply unsettling turn involving the stray cat colony living on the property.

November 23, 2023 Stephen Flinn: Halloween on Sutter Street and Getting Up Off the Canvas
Episode 16

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with composer, drummer, percussionist, and teacher Stephen Flinn.

Stephen takes us through eight wild months driving a cab through the streets of San Francisco, from a Folsom Street Fair pickup that left him speechless, to a Halloween night that took a very unexpected turn, to a Sunday on the Haight with four passengers he absolutely should not have let in the cab. Then Stephen shifts gears entirely and takes us to a boxing gym in East Los Angeles where, after losing nearly everything following 9-11, he walked in a broken man and found his way back.

November 16, 2023 Susan Otten & Forrest Malnar: Lemmy's Last Drink and the Navy's Worst Roommate
Episode 15

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with singer and songwriter Susan Otten and Navy veteran Forrest Malnar.

Susan shares highlights from 25 years touring as a backup singer with Maria McKee, including the night she witnessed Lemmy do something before walking on stage that she still can't quite believe, and a small European show where switching instruments seemed like a fun idea until she looked out at the audience. Then Forrest Malnar takes us aboard a Navy ship in San Diego for a health and comfort inspection that, fair warning, is not for the faint of stomach.

November 09, 2023 Frank Hurricane: Spice, Psychedelic Folk, and the Angels of Moses Lake
Episode 14

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with musician, songwriter, and storyteller Frank Hurricane.

Frank takes us through a 65-day tour across the US with his best friend Invisible Dave, a journey that included a spice-addicted house show in Jacksonville, a psychedelic high school scene in Lubbock Texas, a very memorable encounter with US border agents, and a blown head gasket in the middle of the Washington desert that left two large bearded homies completely stranded and at the mercy of strangers. Frank's stories are straight out of rock and roll lore, and peek behind the curtain of a tour life few can imagine.

November 02, 2023 Joey Siara: The Trucker at the Truck Stop and the Sasquatch Cookie
Episode 13

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with singer, songwriter, and band leader Joey Siara of Near Beer and the Henry Clay People.

Joey shares two stories about the kind of moments that remind a band why they actually love each other, even when they're five weeks deep into a tour and can barely stand the sight of each other. The first unfolds at a truck stop somewhere between Denver and Kansas City. The second happens at the Sasquatch Festival, where a campground neighbor's cookie turns a very long night into something nobody in the band will ever forget.

October 26, 2023 Kent Adamson & Katy Cox: Fuller's Pearl-Handle & The Car Wash Banjo Player
Episode 12

In this week's episode of Atypical Daydream, host Josh Caldwell sits down with producer and writer Kent Adamson and fiddle player and bowmaker Katy Cox.

Kent takes us up into the mountains above LA to the opening shoot day of Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One, where a pearl-handled pistol, a defiant AD, and a very particular introduction to Lee Marvin made for one of the most unforgettable days of his life. Then Katy Cox walks us through both ends of the touring spectrum, from a Craigslist bus packed with pee bottles and a banjo player who vanished in Savannah, to the perfectly organized German bluegrass tours that finally showed her what the road could look like when someone actually knew what they were doing.
