On this week's show, we've got the second half of my conversation with music journalist Jason Woodbury, and we focus on our favorite albums of the past year, albums we're looking forward to in the year ahead, as well as heavy dose of Bruce talk, which is bound to happen when you get a couple of Springsteen fans in a room together.

Music journalist Jason Woodbury stopped by the office to talk, and boy did we. We dug into it and had the sort of conversation that only life-long appreciators and collectors of music can have, and it was great! The recording session lasted well over two hours, so I split it into two episodes for easier consumption. Part II will go live on February 12th.

This show was recorded on the night of the inauguration. It seems appropriate that there was a torrential downpour. I had a great time talking to Dana Diehl. Her debut collection of short fiction, Our Dreams Might Align, is available now from Jellyfish Highway Press, and anywhere you buy books. It’s a great collection, and during the course of the conversation, we got pretty deep into the process of writing it.

The Haymarket Squares (Mark Sunman, Marc Oxborrow, Mark Allred, and John Luther) stopped by the house to play a couple of songs and then sat down to explain punkgrass, tell me how handsome I am, and pet Gizmo—and I didn't even invite them over, they just showed up! That last part is not true at all. It was a great conversation, and they're amazing musicians, but don't take my word for it, have a listen.
