I made a mix, and there’s a disclaimer. Sorry I haven’t been around, I needed some time to get settled. I’ll be back with new Influencas in March. Spencer and I will have new Obnoxious Laughters for you much sooner than that. https://archive.org/download/Jan2018Mix/jan%202018%20mix.mp3

Welcome to the beginning of holiday season! To kick things off, we have comedian Jesse Roth (@messyroth) here!

This is part 2 of Rewak’s (@rewakmusic) episode! We talk about making mistakes intentionally and doing things wrong then asking “Why?” (“Jasmine (Demo)”), and the density of Richard James, Max writing his thesis, and what works when nothing is supposed to work (“Rhubarb”).

Hi guys! As you can tell, today’s episode is in two parts. Rewak (@rewakmusic) is so knowledgable that I couldn’t fit it in one episode.

Yotam is … Continue reading "Episode 11 – Yotam Tubul"

Hello! I’m sorry for the delay in posting this! But who better to kick things back off than one of my favorite singer-songwriters in New York, Tamara Hansson (@TamaraHansson)! Her new music video for her single “Your Bones” drops October 26th (this Thursday) and we needed to talk about it. Most of this episode talks … Continue reading "Episode 10 – Tamara Hansson"

Hi Influenca-heads! This week’s episode had a TON of laughter because the hilarious improviser, rapper, singer, writer and performer Raquel Castellar (@raquelcarmmm) joins us! We talk about finding the balance between being smooth and being poetic (“Bonita Applebum”), being sweet but standing your ground (“No Problem”), the importance of finding love even when it’s complicated … Continue reading "Episode 9 – Raquel Castellar"

Hi everyone! This week, writer, improviser, actor, and fun guy Michael Poole comes by. He is a delightful conversationalist, and I loved talking to him. We spoke about finding community in a local punk scene (“Kids On The Boardwalk”), playing Scalia in a show and just getting the crowd hype about it (“Don’t Wanna Fall … Continue reading "Episode 8 – Michael Poole"

Had a lot going on and haven’t had the chance to do this, so this one is chock full of weird stuff. My intention was to start with a Sesame Street song and end with a Lil B song, but I had to end with Steely Dan today (RIP Walter Becker). My sequencing on this … Continue reading "Nadav Radio – 9/7/2017"
