August 26, 2016 Rip and Reggie
A dual interview! This episode features friends and fellow musicians Rip and Reggie. Reggie talks about the personal reward of playing for a small community, how he sees himself verses what his behavior shows, and we compare our work/life balance. Rip modifies the prompt a bit by instead explaining how he got to the point where he can enjoy the things he's a part of. He discusses his introversion, getting over the fear of being a beginner and how that affected getting into music and education. Rip and I relate our struggles with selfishness and being better than we might see ourselves. Overall, it's a very solid discussion with two men I look up to.

August 26, 2016 Scott
This week I talk to my longtime cohost of The Ignorance Hour and Brave Motel, and close friend Scott! We talk about the appeal of outdoors, the different kinds of life goals, travel, moving away from your hometown, Scott being either really hot or cold about his endeavors, concerns about not responding to things emotionally, how that might influences his relationships, and then I ramble about my last breakup for a bit.

April 19, 2016 Paloma Pt. 2
Part 2 of my talk with Paloma. We start out talking about roommates, and take a quick break for a donut delivery (we recorded on national donut day 2015). Paloma points out that one of the prompts is basically a first date question and then talks about how boring her hobbies sound. We also tackle neediness in the arts and the hazards of venting. Things get pretty dark in the middle in regards to how we deal with negative emotions. We get a little lighter afterwards with our discussion of relationships and performance.

April 05, 2016 Give It To Me Straight - Samantha
Right up top, my dog, Diva, is in the room walking around while we're recording. I talk to her a lot and I'm sorry. Sam is good sport, though. She talks about committing to photography as a career. Sam also talks about her insecurity regarding her voice, which I can definitely relate to. Sam is a really cool person and I enjoyed this session with her.

April 05, 2016 Give It To Me Straight - Christian
Christian's episode was the first recorded following the Vegas round table. He was actually one of the first people considered for this show and we had a really solid chat, even if it was a short one. Christian talks about his creative process when he draws and his tendency to draw puns. He also opens up about how he tends to take on too much at once out of excitement, often to his detriment. Overall, he's pretty self aware and really cuts to the core of his answers to the prompts. At the end we talk about one of my favorite things he created, The Time Drunks.
