Check out episode 6 of The Hexagon: A Podcast For Singer-Songwriters.  It's a podcast about 6 aspects of being a singer-songwriter today.  Peter McKeown (also known as Woodferd) and I talked about a songwriters collective he started called The Yacht Club, busking in Chicago, Sofar Sounds, why he chose not to release his last EP digitally, how restringing his guitar in a new way helped him grow as an artist, and more.

Some other things we mentioned:
