October 26, 2022 S1-Ep13, "When the career starts..."
John & Paul sit down for a lighthearted, but meaningful talk about how preparation, practice, and learning are part of the career...not just something you have to do to land the career. I believe this true for every hopeful career. I don't know about you...but I want the doctor who went through med-school, not the one who landed the gig from his/her popularity on the hit show America's Next Top Doc (as far as I know...this isn't a show yet).

October 19, 2022 S1-Ep12, "Analog, Digital, or neither?"
John & Paul sit down for a semi-boring (but very relevant) conversation about...music stands...kind of. In general, we look at the pros & cons of using musical references (sheet music/chord sheets) in analog or digital mediums...or neither (memorization only). In general, whether it's written down or audibly recorded, we encourage you to record your music in some way so that your voice and art can live on even past you! Where would we be if the great classics had not done that as well?

October 05, 2022 S1-Ep10, a trip to the record shop
John & Paul visited a semi-local record shop recently. Today, they sit down to briefly discuss the profound difference(s) in the ways in which we 'shop' for new music. There are certainly pros and cons to either brick & mortar record shops versus the digital streaming/download method. For everyone, each of these have big implications for how the entire music industry is moving forward (which we do not get into in this episode).
unpaid advertisement: Town & Campus Records, sadly no longer in existence (what is YOUR favorite record shop?)
