Ben Yost and Emily Parrish tell us stories of basing music on the relationship with the audience, blending myriad influences, and where the songwriting process begins.

Recorded on March 10th

Dan Minard joins us for a great conversation covering how self-recording opens up the doors to creative fruitfulness, on why artists should value their own work more, and deserving a seat at the table. Moment juice. Dave explains his 'Tiny Little Toennies Trick' for interviewing. You always go bagpipes to keyboard. Unlocking old songs in front of new crowds. Why Mike and Angie Ward are great.

Dave and Scott dust off the ole microphones and talk about 2020's impact on their creative lives. Scott goes on about Joseph Campbell, not Campau. Dave buries the lede on a project with Jack Oats. There's a season for everything and for everything there is seasoning.

From Green Onions to today, Arthur talks growing up in Detroit as a musician, what Motown meant to him, and what he listens to now.
