Bryan gained a few IQ points during his conversation with Sam Yield about Sam’s new record, “Terra Australis.” They also talked a lot about the role of pretension in art and the merits and criticisms of contemporary art. It was a rewarding and intellectually stimulating chat to say the least! Thanks for listening. Air date: 4/15/2021.

Feast For the Crows is a gnarly fucking dual-lots-of-strings-guitars metal band, who recently released “Elevator Games”, a concept EP about the death of Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel. I hung out with my pals at Ferndale’s IO Studios to record this bad boy in person, and man did it feel good! Be sure to check out FFTC’s record wherever you stream music, and give their socials a follow. Thanks for listening! Air date: 3/29/2021.

Bryan chatted with Eric Hauser, one of the singers/guitarists of skatepunk band Counterpunch! We had some Discord issues that led to this conversation needing to happen twice, so sorry for the clunkiness of this episode, but I think we got a lot of good talk in about things like retirement guitars, brunch DJs, and touring. Enjoy and please share! Air date: 3/23/2021.

Hope you all enjoy! Air date: 3/8/2021 (Happy Birthday Mom).

Bryan chatted with Hunter from The SS-SR from Nashville via Ohio! We talked about the role of emotional honesty in relationships and how that informs the band’s music, especially their most recent release, The Anatomy of Falling Out of Love. We ended up having a lot to talk about from common ground and I think that will be obvious when you hear this episode! Had a lot of fun doing it. Enjoy and thanks or listening! Air date: 2/15/2021.
