  • Jonathan Diener on Rootless Coffee, Freelance Advice, and Making the Move from Music to Marketing

    Welcome to an all-new bonus episode of Films for the Void! In this episode, Landon interviews Jonathan "Jono" Diener - a Flint-based musician, comic writer, marketing master, habitual tweeter, and certified cat and coffee enthusiast. You may know him as the drummer for former Fueled by Ramen punk band The Swellers, who spent the better part of a decade touring worldwide until calling it quits in 2015.

You can follow the work he’s doing with Rootless over on Twitter @ rootlesscoffee, and if you live on the east coast, you can catch 84 Tigers in Brooklyn, Providence, and Boston this March.

    Landon chats with Jono about making the move from DIY touring to marketing, bestows advice for those working in freelance spaces, the work he's doing with Rootless Coffee, and, of course, movies - all on the latest episode of Films for the Void!
